sorry, I sent you down the wrong track. Background and foreground global colors do not require the %{B} or %{F} piece. Also the way you're implementing it is off.
You can do it as you have, but you'll give lemonbar its paramenters when you pipe your script through it
Code:
script|lemonbar -F "#FFffffff" -B "#FF000000"
OR you can set the script as
Code:
#!/usr/bin/bash

# Define the clock
Clock() {
        DATE=$(date "+%a %b %d, %T")

        echo -n "$DATE"
}

# Print the clock

while true; do
        echo "%{c}$(Clock)"
        sleep 1;
done | lemonbar -F "#FFffffff" -B "#FF000000"
If you wanted to change the color of BG or Text for a different output. Say if you added memory, and you wanted the bg of memory to be white with black text instead, you would do
Code:
echo "%{F#FF000000}%{B#FFffffff}$(mem)%{F-}%{B-}%{c}$(Clock)"
Hope that helps
work hard, complain less
