Those are labels for the popup menus (from Xaw library).
The default XTerm app-defaults file has a long comment about
the widget hierarchy.

The Xorg documentation needs some work
(doesn't matter whether X or Wayland - let's not go there).

This page

https://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.6/doc/man/man3/Xaw.3.xhtml

has some documentation, but at the beginning says:

The bulk of the Xaw documentation is located in the API specification which may be installed in /usr/share/doc/libXaw, or found on the X.Org website.

referring to

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxaw/-/tree/master/specs?ref_type=heads

(ymmv)

| I would like their color different from the xterm-color.

It's probably doable given the "XTerm" file as a reference,
and seeing what the widget's path (and whether foreground
and background are the right resource names).
