There’s a couple of ways to do this…
The easy way is to use Tim Plumbs neat little action
http://www.freewayactions.com/product.php?id=010
which allows you to use a graphic item as a bullet

The more complicated way is to use a bit of javascript like this although its a bit overkill if this is all you need to do.

Are you still using Freeway 3.5? If so, there’s a bug in the way it
codes bulleted lists which means that the markers always come out
black even when the list items are made a different color. Tim Plumb
wrote an Action a very long time ago to fix this. You should look at
his http://Freewayactions.com site to see if you can find it there, or
it might be on the ActionsForge by now, too. It’s not needed in more
modern versions of Freeway, which code the list items correctly.

Thanks Walter. I tried applying Tim’s “List Item Fix” action to the
text (html) box that holds the bulleted list. It shows that the action
is applied, but nowhere can I find how to change the color of the
bullets. It must be right in front of me, but I don’t see it. Can
anyone help? Tim?

Max was suggesting that you use Tim’s List Item Images action (not List Item Fix) http://www.freewayactions.com/product.php?id=010

And insert a graphic the right colour!

Sorry I didn’t read this slowly enough

It shows that the action is applied, but nowhere can I find how to change the color of the bullets.

You dont actually change the bullets themselves - you style the list items (colour) and this is applied to the bullets too.

What it wont do is let you have different coloured bullets compared to the text next to it. You will need to use List Item Images to get that effect.

You can also do it without images and a little extra markup. Though
not the last word in lean code the hit is still small and it works.

Each list in this example uses slightly different markup. Pick the one
you like. http://www.xiiro.com/demo/bullet/index.html

Hi Richard,
From memory the action moved the list items inside of the font tags
(shudder) which will cause them to pick up the same colour as the text
but will invalidate the HTML. Unless you are using HTML 3.2 I would
suggest using CSS to style the list items.
Regards,
Tim.

Thanks Tim, David, Max, Walter and Todd. I’ll experiment with your
suggestions.
