edit your current gtkrc-file or create a new one for that app
[user at host ~]$ vim .gtkrc-2.0-kde4
###########
# This file was written by KDE
# You can edit it in the KDE control center, under "GTK Styles and Fonts"
include "/usr/local/share/themes/kde44-oxygen-molecule/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
include "/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"

style "user-font"
{
        font_name="Sans Serif"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"

gtk-theme-name="kde44-oxygen-molecule"
gtk-font-name="Sans Serif 10"
gtk-cursor-theme-name="Oxygen_White"
###########

vim /usr/local/share/themes/kde44-oxygen-molecule/gtk-2.0/gtkrc

and there you will find something like:

fg[NORMAL]        = "#141312"
fg[PRELIGHT]      = "#141312"
fg[SELECTED]      = "#ffffff"
fg[ACTIVE]        = "#141312"
...
and change the colors (not tested!)
