 notice that the script isn't striping out any spaces, the reason it
 can't find that color is because you have additional spaces. when it
 tries to find the color  orange  in the list it can't match it to
 anything. 
 
 What you want is ForeColor {orange}

Exactly!! Thank you!!

 Hi all,

 Colorset12
 Widget  1
 Property
 TypeItemDraw
 Size100 15

 Fontshadow=0 se:xft:sans:size=7:antialias=True
 Flags   NoFocus NoReliefString Left
 ForeColor   { orange }
 Main
 Case message of
   SingleClic:
   Begin
   Quit
   End
 End
 where the default is defined by coloset 9 
 Colorset 9 fg #ff, bg #f1eee0, hi #f1eee0, sh #f1eee0, fgsh #f1eee0, Tint 
 black 35, RootTransparent
 
 However, fvwm(-2.5.23) is complaining: Cannot parse color  orange 
 What does that mean, and more generally, how can I set up a widget fg
 color differently from the default?
