Any menu-related color settings are OS-dependent, since SWT is based on native GUI implementation (as Kos alludes to in the comment).

This thread asks for the "inactive color":

I don't think there's a SWT.COLOR_... available for disabled menu texts, it's the OSs that colors these texts.
I don't know if the OSs provide a way for accessing this color programmatically.

This thread want to add color to a popup menu, and the best solution is...

I think your best bet is #2, that way you could put (for instance) a Table widget with no columns in the pop-up, which would allow you customize the item appearances however you like.
