Here's some code I wrote a while back to change the cursor when over a button, should be easy to modify to change the colour instead.

Sub Process_Globals
    Private fx As JFX
    Private MainForm As Form
    Dim cursor As JavaObject
    Dim b As Button
End Sub

Sub AppStart (Form1 As Form, Args() As String)
    MainForm = Form1
    MainForm.Show
    b.Initialize("")
    b.Text = "Hello"
    MainForm.RootPane.AddNode(b,10,10,-1,-1)
    cursor.InitializeStatic("javafx.scene.Cursor")  ' cursors, so we can use their names ie HAND, WAIT etc
    setHandler(b,"setOnMouseEntered","b_enter") ' to change cursor on entry
    setHandler(b,"setOnMouseExited","b_exit")    ' change back on exit
End Sub
Sub setHandler(ob As Object,eventName As String,handlerName As String)
    asJavaObject(ob).RunMethod(eventName, Array(asJavaObject(ob).CreateEventFromUI("javafx.event.EventHandler",handlerName,False)))
End Sub
Sub b_enter_Event(MethodName As String, Args() As Object)
    asJavaObject(b).RunMethod("setCursor",Array(cursor.GetField("HAND"))) ' set cursor to hand
End Sub
Sub b_exit_Event(MethodName As String, Args() As Object)
    asJavaObject(b).RunMethod("setCursor",Array(cursor.GetField("DEFAULT"))) ' set back to default
End Sub
Sub asJavaObject(j As JavaObject) As JavaObject
    Return j
End Sub

A more "correct" way is to use CSS for that.
There are nice buttons styles here: http://fxexperience.com/2011/12/styling-fx-buttons-with-css/

See this example: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/css-example.35854/#content
