StartLine and EndLine TColorLines in TColorBandTool are disabled by default.
This makes the Annotations on them not to be visible even if you set a text for them:

uses Series, TeeTools;

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  Chart1.View3D := False;

  Chart1.AddSeries(TLineSeries).FillSampleValues;

  with Chart1.Tools.Add(TColorBandTool) as TColorBandTool do
  begin
    Axis := Chart1.Axes.Bottom;
    StartValue := 5;
    EndValue := 10;
    StartLine.Annotation.Text := 'Start';
    EndLine.Annotation.Text := 'End';
  end;
end;

You can manually make the TColorLines Active:

    StartLine.Active:=true;
    EndLine.Active:=true;

But these properties aren't available for TeeChart ActiveX yet (I'll open a new ticket asking for it). So we could activate them by default.

At TeeTools.pas,

Function TColorBandTool.NewColorLine:TColorLineTool;
begin
  result:=TColorLineTool.Create(nil);
//  result.Active:=True;
  result.DragRepaint:=True;
  InitColorLine(result);
end;
