You can't set different font colours for different panels. you can, however, set different font colours for individual widgets on panels.

Have a look at this thread for the basic idea. To identify the widget name, go to the Items Tab of the Panel Properties and hover your mouse over the widget that you want to affect. Then you can use that widget name in the last part of the hack to effect just that widget. A basic example, to change the colour of the Applications Menu panel text, would be something like:

style "appmenu_font_colour" {
        fg[NORMAL] = "#729fcf"
        fg[PRELIGHT] = "#729fcf"
        fg[SELECTED] = "#729fcf"
        fg[ACTIVE] = "#729fcf"
}
widget "*applicationsmenu-*" style "appmenu_font_colour"
