Java SE (Java Platform, Standard Edition)

I want to change the text color of the Menu control in JavaFX. When I create a MenuBar in Scene Builder - it comes with 3 Menu controls by default ("*File*", "*Options*", "*Help*"). I have tried assigning a separate CSS id for each Menu control and using various combinations of properties to influence the text color, but can't seem to get it right whatsoever. What I want to achieve is, i.e., display *"File*" in black, instead of default white.

FXML here:

<?import java.lang.*?>
<?import java.net.*?>
<?import java.util.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.paint.*?>

<AnchorPane id="AnchorPane" maxHeight="-Infinity" maxWidth="-Infinity" minHeight="-Infinity" minWidth="-Infinity" prefHeight="400.0" prefWidth="600.0" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml">
  <children>
    <MenuBar id="modBar" layoutX="176.0" layoutY="122.0" styleClass="modBar">
      <menus>
        <Menu id="modItem" mnemonicParsing="false" styleClass="modItem" text="File" />
      </menus>
      <stylesheets>
        <URL value="test.css" />
      </stylesheets>
    </MenuBar>
  </children>
</AnchorPane>

CSS here:

.modBar
{
    -fx-background-color: white;
}
.modItem
{
    -fx-color: black;
}

I have also tried extracting the caspian CSS and playing with various properties related to *.menu* and *.menu-bar*, but still can't see the one responsible for the color of the text in menu controls?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
