StringBuilder does what it says on the tin - builds strings; its just the correct way of appending strings together. If you want to store colour information you would need to come up with some way of encoding them in the string.

What is the purpose of using a StringBuilder here though? I'd suggest an object representation stored in a List<> is better which has a String and Colour property for example.

If you're manipulating a lot of strings, and you care about performance, use a stringbuilder. It's that simple. There is no way you can get the same performane as a stringbuilder even if you write code that deals directly with char/byte arrays and then converts it to a string afterwards.
