I open test.txt, and put it in enriched mode: M-x enriched-mode
Now I type 'hello world' into the buffer. Then select the text.
Now how would I, for example, make that text blue?
If I right click, text-properties, 'Face', 'Foreground color', 'Background
color' are all disabled (grayed out).
How does this work?

From the menu bar, choose the color with Edit->Text
Properties->Foreground Color->blue and then start typing text.

Mark the region and change the face as above.

But 'Face', 'Foreground Color', and 'Background Color' are all disabled.

May be it has something to do with the major mode of the buffer. What
does
M-: mode-name
report.
Try switching to Fundamental Mode or Text Mode before turning on the
enriched mode.

Ahah! I have
(setq auto-mode-alist
(append '(("\\.txt$" . rst-mode)
("\\.rst$" . rst-mode)
("\\.rest$" . rst-mode)) auto-mode-alist))
So major-mode was rst. If I set to txt mode first, then it works as you
described. Thanks.

Yes, enriched mode does not play well with font-locking, in general. You can
either switch to a different major mode, as Jambunathan suggested, or turn off
font-lock-mode: `M-x font-lock-mode'.
