You have a couple of choices: you can use the builtin attributes on the label or you can use CSS classes.

I prefer to use CSS since it provides much more flexibility and doesn't encode visual decisions into the application (meaning they can be adjust by the end user or a visual designer as needed).

Here is the property approach:

    If StockPrice < 20 Then
        lblStockPrice.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red
    Else
        lblStockPrice.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black
    End If

and here is the css approach:

CSS:

.NormalStockPrice 
{
    color: Black;
}

.WarningStockPrice
{
    color: Red;
}

Code:

    If StockPrice < 20 Then
        lblStockPrice.CssClass = "WarningStockPrice"
    Else
        lblStockPrice.CssClass = "NormalStockPrice"
    End If
