Got bored and started messing with some settings and found a way to change the colors through reg edits. Haven't seen this posted but if it is please delete thread. Now the how to.

Open HKCU/software/microsoft/today/sprint.tsk
Change the data string for the string Color_CommandBarText

To change the color of the softkey when pressed navigate to..
HKCU/software/microsoft/today/sprint.tsk
Change the data string for the string Color_CommandbarText_Highlight

http://www.2createawebsite.com/build/hex-colors.html is a website you can use to get an exact color. Find your color and then look at the hex code. Disregard the #, and add 00 to the end and enter into the data string.

Have fun!
