That's strange Bob, it works here, i end up with a nice checkbutton with a  
blue label.
You are talking about the background color, i'm trying to change the  
foreground color.

here's the code again (this time i tested it):

#include <gtkmm.h>

int main(int argc, char**argv)
{
  Gtk::Main kit(argc, argv);

  Gtk::Window win;
  Gtk::CheckButton check;
  Gtk::Label* l=Gtk::manage(new Gtk::Label);
  l->set_markup("<span color = \"blue\"> blue text </span>");
  check.add(*l);
  win.add(check);
  win.show_all_children();
  kit.run(win);

  return 0;
}
