You can do that by modifiying the font:
Font f1 = FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.TIMES_ROMAN, 12);
f1.setColor(BaseColor.BLUE);
cell.addfont(f1);
Please check where to apply the font so that the right amount of text is changed.
Also it might be needed to change back to black font afterwards (if not all elements of a certain layer are supposed to change).
