Hi Simon,

The value plots use layout models for the display. Layout models can be edited 
with the Layout Model Editor:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/docs/userguide/tools/StationModelEditor.html

In the Value Plot display control GUI there is a button showing the layout 
model. Next to it is an edit button which brings up the layout model editor. In 
the editor double (or right) click on the component you want to change  the 
color of and bring up the properties dialog for that component. There is a 
Foreground color widget. When done with the properties save the layout model 
with File->Save. This should apply the change to your display.
