The function you are looking for is gtk_clist_set_cell_style().
There are some examples of using it in testgtk.c.

[ The way to "leave everything else alone" is to copy the clist's
  style with:

 gtk_widget_ensure_style (clist);
 my_style = gtk_style_copy (gtk_widget_get_style (clist));
 my_style->fg_gc[GTK_STATE_NORMAL] = ...
 
 If you want to make that the colors react properly to theme changes,
 then instead of calling ensure_style, you should do this in 
 a "style_set" handler. ]
