You can use a cellFactory to customize the way the content is displayed. Assuming the values for the column are Strings like "Charlotte\n403 St. Tryon Street" and "Tony Stark\n10880 Malibu Point\n90265"

It could be done like this:

column.setCellFactory(tv -> new TableCell() {

    private final VBox lines;

    {
        lines = new VBox();
        lines.getStyleClass().add("address");
        setGraphic(lines);
    }

    @Override
    protected void updateItem(String item, boolean empty) {
        super.updateItem(item, empty);

        lines.getChildren().clear();

        if (!empty && item != null) {
            int lineNo = 1;
            for (String line : item.split("\n")) {
                Text text = new Text(line);
                text.getStyleClass().add("line-" + (lineNo++));
                lines.getChildren().add(text);
            }
        }
    }

});

CSS stylesheet

.address > * {
    -fx-fill: green;
}

.address > .line-1 {
    -fx-fill: red;
}

Note that this uses CSS to style the lines, but you could also assign the color in the updateItem method directly...
