No, Transcript does not support colored text. It uses a string internally - what you see on screen is only the view, whereas the Transcript (an instance of TranscriptStream) is only the model.
Of course, with a bit of effort, TranscriptStream *could* be made to use a Text internally. See attachment ;-)

Mike, Alain,
when I do a copy&paste from colored text in a browser to the Transcript, all emphasis (colors, fonts, etc) is preserved.
So, Transcript supports colored text.

Is there any way to write colored text to a Transcript? I tried something like this:
Transcript show: ('red text' asText addAttribute: (TextColor color: Color red))
but it didn't work.
sorry but i think it can't work with Transcript which is a WriteStream : WriteStream>>withAttribute: att do: strmBlock "No-op here is overriden in TextStream for font emphasis" ^ strmBlock value attributes are ignored here
and in TranscriptStream>>show: argument is converted to String : TranscriptStream>>show: anObject "TextCollector compatibility" self nextPutAll: anObject asString; endEntry
