Without more details I can't really give you an answer.

Using the color keyword parameter for those functions
should result in colored items.  This function:

(defun test ()
 (open-exp-window "test")
 (add-text-to-exp-window :text "hello" :color 'red)
 (add-button-to-exp-window :x 20 :y 20 :color 'blue))

generated the window shown in the attached image.

If you provide me more details, then I will be able
to give you more help.  The important things to
know are:

- What version of ACT-R do you have?
- Which Lisp are you using?
- What OS are you using?
- Are you using the ACT-R environment?
- What were the error messages you got?

With that information I should be able to give you
an answer as to why it wasn't working.
