Default Automation: Adding Text to Cell With Different Colours

I'm using VbScript to automate Excel.
The only way I know to programmatically add text with different colours to a
cell is using the 'Characters' function on an existing text:

oExcel.Cells(1, 1) = "This is a Text"
oExcel.Cells(1, 1).Characters(6, 2).Font.ColorIndex = 5
This colors "is" in blue

What I want is a function or a way that colors directly when putting the
text in the cell:
oExcel.Cells(1, 1) = "This "
... then the function that makes text blue
oExcel.Cells(1, 1) = oExcel.Cells(1, 1) & "is "
.... then the function that makes text black
oExcel.Cells(1, 1) = oExcel.Cells(1, 1) & "a Text"

Does anybody know such a function or way?
