Martin,

All but simple borders derive their color from the morph they are owned
by. To provide a color that overrides the default from the morph you
have to provide a base color instead. E.g., something like

	borderStyle := RaisedBorder new.
	borderStyle width: 3.
	borderStyle baseColor: Color green.
	myMorph borderStyle: borderStyle.

will have the intended effect.

Cheers,
