My modeline warns me when I have an appointment. It says things like:
.. 1:49 PM Wednesday 26 Nov App't in 11 min. (Message MML ... etc)
Is there any way of changing the colour of the appt-mode-string that
appears in the modeline, so I actually notice it?

I think this will do it for you, in Emacs at least.
(defface appt-face
'((t (:foreground "red" :background "white")))
"Face to indicate a current appointment."
:group 'appt)
(defadvice appt-disp-window (before appt-hilite-more activate)
(when appt-mode-string
(put-text-property 1 (- (length appt-mode-string) 1)
'face 'appt-face appt-mode-string)))
(defadvice appt-check (after appt-hilite activate)
(when appt-mode-string
(put-text-property 1 (- (length appt-mode-string) 1)
'face 'appt-face appt-mode-string)
(force-mode-line-update)))
