Give this s try.


Mail->Settings->Junk Mail->click ‘Perform Custom Actions and then click Advanced. Now click the + sign next to Perform the following actions: Then pulldown the menu and select ‘Set Color and then select ‘text’ or ‘background’. Select from the offered colors or click on Other to bring the color picker wheel and play till you get what you want. All future junk mail should now appear with the color you selected. Add another rule if you want to change both text and background color.
