Dim anno As Annot.PdfFreeTextAnnotation = New 
Annot.PdfFreeTextAnnotation(rec, New PdfString(_annotation.Text))

FreeText annotations have RC key that allows setting a rich text string that shall be used to generate the appearance of the annotation. Basically you can use plain HTML as a rich text string, e.g. you can wrap some text in a <span> and set the text color in style attribute of that span, just as in HTML.

Here is the code in C# that does the trick:

anno.SetRichText(new PdfString("<span style=\"color:#10FF10;\">Hello world</span>"));
