The only way you can get that to work across browser-land today, is to
declare a suitable color in the list-item - the color for the list
marker, add a span or other element inside the list-item to hold its
content and declare another suitable color on that. The illusion will be
"near perfect", but you have to have that extra element in there.

You can of course fake it visually by using 'list-style: none' and float
an element with the '>>' into the list markers place, in which case
you'll have total control over its color and won't need the first
solution. This is a bit too much of a fake IMO, but it'll work.
