I am trying to change the color of the text based on whenever specific words are typed in by others. For example, for the term "due," I would like the word to turn red in the text fill block and the abbreviation "c/w" to turn green in the same block.

Is that text field or text box and will those two words be at the same time in field or one at a time?

If it's text field and one word at a time, you can use this as validation script of that field:

if(event.value == "due")
event.target.textColor = color.red;
else if(event.value == "c/w")
event.target.textColor = color.green;
else
event.target.textColor = color.black;
