You need to use DataTemplate and change the text Foreground property, this is one sample for GridViewColumn.

Check on DataTemplate here: Data Templating Overview

<GridViewColumn  DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path=FirstName}" Header="First Name" Width="1000">
    <GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
       <DataTemplate>
            <TextBlock x:Name="Txt" Text="{Binding FirstName}" Foreground="Purple" />                 
       </DataTemplate>
    </GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
</GridViewColumn>

iTHINK WHEN WE USE DataTemplate then we cant use setter and textblock both, and we dnt have to use DisplayMemberBinding={ Binding Path=FirstName}" in gridviewColumn. though we can use foreground property in Textblock...it works fine for me. – nizam uddin Apr 17 '14 at 10:43
ya thats what i have mentioned, please mark it as an answer if it has helped you – Sajeetharan Apr 17 '14 at 10:44
This doesn't work for me. I thought DisplayMemberBinding and CellTemplate were mutually exclusive? – Randall Deetz Jun 22 '18 at 17:29
Also doesn't work for me, the text colour does not change – pay Jan 08 '19 at 19:08

As per the accepted answer, in order for the TextBlock to remain binded and the Foreground color to change, the following worked for me:

<GridViewColumn Header="First Name" Width="1000">
    <GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
       <DataTemplate>
            <TextBlock x:Name="Txt" Text="{Binding Path=FirstName}" Foreground="Purple" />                 
       </DataTemplate>
    </GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
</GridViewColumn>

and in my case I decided to create a property for the text color and bind to that

<GridViewColumn Header="First Name" Width="1000">
    <GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
       <DataTemplate>
            <TextBlock x:Name="Txt" Text="{Binding Path=FirstName}" Foreground="{Binding Path=TextColor}" />                 
       </DataTemplate>
    </GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
</GridViewColumn>

All wrong answers. You simply need to change GridView.ColumnHeaderTemplate property.

<ListView ItemsSource="{...}" Foreground="White" >
  <ListView.View>
    <GridView>
      <GridView.ColumnHeaderTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
          <TextBlock Foreground="White" Text="{Binding}"/>
        </DataTemplate>
      </GridView.ColumnHeaderTemplate>
  <GridViewColumn  DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path=FirstName}" Header="First Name" Width="1000"/>
