In \Program Files\Second Life\app_settings, edit colors.ini and colors.xml. Mine look like the below files. Remember each time there is new upgrade, the files are overwritten, so I keep them in a separate area to copy over.

colors.ini:
version 101
// colors.ini
// Use this file to provide your own custom colors for the
// Second Life user interface.
//
// Copy lines here from colors_base.ini and modify them
// to your heart's content.
//
// The colors are in the format: <red> <green> <blue> <alpha>
// 0 0 0 255 = black, fully opaque
// 255 255 255 255 = white, fully opaque
// 0 0 0 128 = black, half transparent
//
// The file version must appear before any comments.
// Comments must start at the beginning of a line.
// Set tab stops to 4 for best alignment.
//
// Example:
// Make avatar names bright green:
// AvatarNameColor 0 255 0 255
NetMapYouOwnAboveWater 128 128 255 255
NetMapYouOwnBelowWater 128 128 255 255

colors.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<settings version = "101">
<NetMapYouOwnAboveWater value="128, 128, 255, 255" />
<NetMapYouOwnBelowWater value="128, 128, 255, 255" />
</settings>
