There's no option for recoloring the standard "@" Apple menu title.  The
funky colors come from the Menu Manager playing with the SCBs of the first
several scan lines, making them use color tables other than number zero.

When you have an Apple menu in some other menu bar, it's getting drawn with
640-mode color 1, which shows up as purple (in the standard [dithered]
color table).

If you want a black Apple, you can use character $14 instead of "@"...this
is a small solid-Apple character in Shaston 8.  Unfortunately, it isn't
nearly as big or pretty as the Menu Manager's Apple symbol.
