Whoa, you're doing things a whole lot differently than I do. I always use the lyx-code environment for program listings. Whatever environment you're using for code listings, use that environment to derive a new environment differing from the original only in color, either foreground or background. Probably if you're printing black and white paper or if you expect some readers to be color blind, you're probably better off changing the background color so it appears gray instead of white. I suggest you look at the lyx-code environment. I think it's better for displaying computer programs.
