First, don't post the same question multiple times.
Second, if your Zen Cart is online, it can help if you post a link to the site so people can see what you're asking about.
Third, you shouldn't be using the "stock green classic template". Create your own custom template or all your changes will be lost with the next update/upgrade.
Now to your question... you can change the color of the message by adding this to your stylesheet (includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet.css where YOUR_TEMPLATE is the name of your custom template):
#tagline {
color: #000000;
}
It will make the text black. Adjust the color as you wish.
