Change the color in a simple property trigger:

<Style TargetType="ComboBox">
    <Style.Triggers>
        <Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="False">
            <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Green"/>
        </Trigger>
    </Style.Triggers>
</Style>

Background or foreground color? Question asks for foreground, answer uses background. This indeed wouldn't work for changing foreground. – Jun 04 '16 at 09:12

Try this:-

<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="false">
        <Setter Property="Background" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.GrayTextBrushKey}}"/>            
    </Trigger>

In my case I set DyanmicResource to SystemColors.GrayTextBrushKey
