Aha! The real key was setting new color values in ~config/style/cfg, especially for [Class].
However, there's a peculiarity in editing ~config/style/cfg from the jqt Edit window: If I comment out the default values in a block such as [Class] (and the block's header) using leading # symbols and then insert a new block [Class] -- and even if I move the commented-out portion near the file top, before any other block -- and insert a new block in its place, then the commented out block simply disappears from the file after I save it and later reopen it. That's a very bad behavior!
