I'm not a user of WinEdt but I guess it should be the same regardless of
the editor you use. Just use the color package. 

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{color}

\begin{document}

Some colourful examples. 
\color{green} Now everything is green.
\color{black} And now everything is black again.
This is \textcolor{blue}{some blue text}.


\end{document}


Take a look at this page for an overview:

Note that this uses named colours for dvi output. Many of these will not
necessarily work if you want PDF output. I often define my own colours.
