First, ensure that the window in which the view is installed is a color
window (:color-p t), that *color-available* is not nil, and that the
Apple Menu item is colored (if not, use the Apple Menu item "Control panels"
to specify the correct values for the "Monitors").  Most likely
the window is not color (:color-p nil is the default).
 
? (setq cw (make-instance 'window :color-p t))
#<WINDOW "Untitled" #x4512A1>
? (window-color-p cw)
t
? (setq text-view (make-instance 'static-text-dialog-item
                    :view-position #@(20 400)
                    :part-color-list '(text *red-color*)
                    :view-font '("times" 14)
                    :dialog-item-text "Dream"
                    :view-container cw
                    ))
#<STATIC-TEXT-DIALOG-ITEM #x452BD1>
? (slot-value text-view 'ccl::color-list)
(TEXT *RED-COLOR*)
