Many thanks for your speedy response. I have included my code this time. selection_fgcolor =>"RED" works fine but item_fgcolor => "YELLOW", and item_bgcolor => "BLUE" have no impact. 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Term::ANSIMenu;
my $menu = Term::ANSIMenu->new(
                               width  => 79,
                               title  => '[MENU v3.02] Plumbing Sales 
+MENU',
                               title_style =>['BOLD'],
                               exit_keys=>['X'],
                               item_fgcolor => "YELLOW",
                               item_bgcolor => "BLUE",                
+               
                               selection_fgcolor =>"RED",
items  => [[ 'A','SALES ORDERS MENU                    [-MENU-]',sub {
