Sorry, I misread what you said. If the label background is green, then the same thing applies re absolute black, but changing the theme color might not affect it. (although if you only see this in the black theme it might).
The code for setting the background color for that label should be in Audio_Region.C. Just look for all the ->color() calls and you'll probably find it if you want to force it to have a different value. I imagine it's set to FL_BLACK (perhaps from FL_BACKGROUND_COLOR in this case) and I think it does have some opacity below 1 applied, which is, I believe, related to the appearance of a green rather than black color. So you could also try setting the alpha to 1 (or 255), or the color to RGB 1,1,1 rather than RGB 0,0,0. But I'd try fiddling with the theme colors first (via ntk-chtheme).
