How to change the JMenuBar text color?

I've been working on a project which uses Java's Swing class for the first time and I have been implementing a JMenuBar. I want the ability for users to swap color schemes, but I can't figure out how to swap the text color.

So far, I have attempted to set the JMenuBar to opaque, and setting the Foreground color to the color I want it to be (similar to how labels are used) using the .setForeground() method. When I used the .setBackground() method, it worked perfectly for the background of the JMenuBar..

You would need to set the foreground of each JMenu that you add to the menu bar.

JMenu test = new JMenu("Testing");
test.setForeground( Color.RED );
menuBar.add(test);
