I don't think it's possible to change the color of the clock text on an xp theme, unless you edit the theme itself. It's possible to change it if you use the classic mode, although I don't remember which controls it.

Personally, I use dsclock. It's a small freeware prog that puts a highly customizeable floating clock anywhere on the screen you want to place it. It can even keep itself accurate by automatically checking one of several atomic clocks. I like it because it's much easier to just glance at dsclock to see the time than to try to read the tiny little text on xp's clock (plus the fact that I keep my taskbar on autohide). You can also have it play sounds on the hour and/or the 1/2 hour. http://www.dualitysoft.com/dsclock/
