Add DynamicVariables=1 to the Spherical note meters that use the variable should get it working.

Especially if systemColor.ini has the code you've posted above, it's a skin file, used by Rainmeter.

Just add the desired color into the FontColor option of the [TextStyle] section. For instance if you add there the FontColor=255,0,0, you get red digits. For FontColor=0,255,0 you get them green, while for FontColor=255,240,0 you get them yellow. Obviously you have to add the color code associated with the desired color.
