We are not seeing an issue with the use of the TextColor member. We did a test to ensure it is working properly in version 2960, and it showed as expected. Here is the code we used (based on your own):

#include "sierrachart.h"

SCDLLName("Drawing Test")

SCSFExport scsf_DrawingTest(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc)
{
  if (sc.SetDefaults)  
  {    
    return;
  }


const int beginIndex = sc.ArraySize - 10;

s_UseTool newRay;
newRay.ChartNumber = sc.ChartNumber;
newRay.DrawingType = DRAWING_HORIZONTAL_RAY;
newRay.LineNumber = 1;
newRay.AddMethod = UTAM_ADD_OR_ADJUST;
newRay.Region = 0;
newRay.BeginIndex = beginIndex;
newRay.BeginValue = sc.Close[beginIndex];
newRay.Color = RGB(255, 0, 0);
newRay.LineWidth = 1;
newRay.Text = "TextColor probe";
newRay.TextColor = RGB(0, 255, 0);
newRay.FontSize = 12;
newRay.TransparentLabelBackground = 1;

sc.UseTool(newRay);

}

And attached is an image of what we see when we add this to the chart.
