Yes and you can also change the Font and size. Here’s how:
Open Outlook
Select the View tab of the ribbon.
Click the View Settings icon to open the Advanced View settings window.
Click Conditional Formatting.. button to open the Conditional Formatting window.
In the Conditional Formatting window in the box under Rules for this view: uncheck the other views so the box next to Unread messages is the only view with the box checked.
Click the Font button which will open a Font window for you to select Font, style(bold, italic, etc.), size, and color.
Be sure to click OK on each window as you close it to save your changes.
BTW: White is an awesome color against a dark background.
