I had to add  a line to header-pane.cc:
--- ../../../pan-0.100/pan/gui/header-pane.cc   2006-06-14 12:55:24.000000000 
-0600

       "xalign", 0.0,
       "weight", (bold ? PANGO_WEIGHT_BOLD : PANGO_WEIGHT_NORMAL),
       "underline", (underlined ? PANGO_UNDERLINE_DOUBLE : 
PANGO_UNDERLINE_NONE),
+      "foreground", (bold || underlined ? "red" : NULL),
       NULL);
   }
 }

... I just hunted for the section that underlines unread messages, and
added that "foreground" line with the color hardcoded to "red".  Maybe
later I'll put in some preferences to pick a color, but just for a quick
fix it was easier to hard-code the red.
