Yes. Bullets/numbering has its own properties ;-)
You choose Format > Bullets/numbering in the menu, and find out that on 
the tab Customize you can select the color.
(Better is to do that in the slide master... View > Slide master ..)
(Also remarkable that you select the color there, not a character style 
as in Writer. Rfe for character styles in Impress does exist )

As opponent of hard (direct formatting) I agree you have a point here 
:-)  when one applies direct formatting any way, why not include the 
bullets.

Thanks for your input!
