The stanza holding the panel text color is at line 320 of the gtkrc. The stanza reads:
style "murrine-PanelGtkMenubar" { bg[NORMAL] = "#343330" # top desktop panel menu background color bg[SELECTED] = darker(@selected_bg_color) # selected item background fg[NORMAL] = @bg_color # default panel text ! fg[PRELIGHT] = @base_color # text after dropdown menu
The solution is to adjust "fg[NORMAL] = @bg_color" to "fg[NORMAL] = @fg_color".
