>>I think Viv is correct that you may need to loop through all the labels and set the ForeColor individually for each label (that's how I understood Viv and this is how it works in VFP as well).

Plus just one other thing to consider. If you wrote this code in one class and pasted it in another you may not have wired up the evetn handler. Put a break point in this code in the form where it doesn't work and make sure it is actually running.
