This code is available with a different number of arguments: Text, ForeGroundColor, and BackGroundColor.

Each colorlist is used with a rotate implementation:

function Write-Color([String[]]$Text, [ConsoleColor[]]$ForeGroundColor, [ConsoleColor[]]$BackGroundColor) {
    for ($i = 0; $i -lt $Text.Length; $i++) {
        $Color = @{}
        if ($ForeGroundColor -and $BackGroundColor){
            $Color = @{
                ForegroundColor = $ForeGroundColor[$i%($ForeGroundColor.count)]
                BackgroundColor = $BackGroundColor[$i%($BackGroundColor.count)]
            }
        } elseif ($ForeGroundColor) {
            $Color = @{
                ForegroundColor = $ForeGroundColor[$i%($ForeGroundColor.count)]
            }
        } elseif ($BackGroundColor) {
            $Color = @{
                BackgroundColor = $BackGroundColor[$i%($BackGroundColor.count)]
            }
        }
        Write-Host $Text[$i] @color -NoNewLine
    }
    Write-Host
}

Log usage:

Write-Color "Check color list...".PadRight(50), '[', '   OK   ', ']' -fore cyan, White, green, white
Write-Color "Red Check is good...".PadRight(50), '[' ,' ERROR! ', ']' -fore cyan, White, red, white
Write-Color "Write-Color is cool !".PadRight(50), '[', '  WARN  ', ']' -fore cyan, White, Yellow, white

List Usage (just 2 backGroundColor and 4 foreGroundColor):

Write-Color (@(100..115) | %{" -> $_ : ".PadRight(30) + "`n"}) -ForeGroundColor cyan, yellow, magenta, red -BackGroundColor gray, black

Standard Write-Host

Write-Host (@(100..115) | %{" -> $_ : ".PadRight(30) + "`n"}) -BackgroundColor gray
