The Foreground color of the RadTreeViewItems is defined through the Metro MarkerColor. You can change the metro colors following the approach described here.
I also attached a sample project to demonstrate how to change the RadTreeViewItem Foreground color in code-behind. I hope it helps.
All the best,
