They are probably changing the color.
Enter text in bottom box, highlight it, then control - click, and choose Font/Show Colors. You can change the color there.
Hi,
You can change it in several ways.
In Messages > Preferences > Viewing you can change your outgoing background (Balloon) colour, which then gives you access to change the Font and it's text colour.
This works Mac to Mac in Messages using any service (iMessages, AIM, Jabber, Bonjour and yahoo).
iMessages users on iOS devices will not see it as it does not do coloured Balloons (the App only colours your outgoing ones to tell you if it is SMS or iMessages but does not send the colour)
You can also change individual IMs or iMessages by using the Format menu (Show Font and Show Colours)
And as Eric says there is the Keyboard/Contextual Menu method.
As lots of yours are "white" I presume this is iMessages on several iPhones and one computer.
iChat (the forerunner to Messages used to attribute random colours to incoming IMs in a group chat so they (people) looked different.
This can't be done in Messages 7 and 8
