Hi!

Look into the help file for DEFINE BAR command.

First of all, you can define any colors for menu bars. BUT...

The most common approach used by everyone to make user see that some option could not be used - is to disable menu item. You do not need colors at all, just use SKIP clause in DEFINE BAR command or use SET SKIP OF command to change enabled/disabled status of the bars in the menu.
