just open up the message box, right click and choose inspect element
the code is below, as you move up and down on the code the above will show you what is affected.
If you look on the right side below, it shows you the css you may have to play with it a bit to get so you are familar with it.
if you click on the color dot on the right side there you can change the color and see if it changes in the box. So this is the css you need to put in your custom css in admin themes css
.htmlarea_styles_mailbox{
color: rgb(51, 204, 102);
}
and that will make that text green. If you want another color just change the color on the popup and it will show you the code.
