How to change the colour of the groups in Pick, Group and Rank questions?

Hi all,
I'm working on an idea to help people with complex communication needs participate in research. We're mirroring a talking mat approach using a Pick, Group and Rank question type.
I really want to use either Javascript or CSS to change the display of the groups (hopefully the border and heading) so that group 1 "Agree" is green, group 2 "Don't know" is yellow and group 3 "Disagree".
Does anyone know the Javascript or CSS references for the group containers themselves? My current Javascript code is below along with a screenshot of the result:
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function () {
  var $this = jQuery(this.questionContainer);

  jQuery(".QuestionBody .groupsContainerTd .Group:eq(0) ul.ui-sortable", $this).css("color", "#008000");  //first group - green
  jQuery(".QuestionBody .groupsContainerTd .Group:eq(1) ul.ui-sortable", $this).css("color", "#ffff00");  //second group - red
  jQuery(".QuestionBody .groupsContainerTd .Group:eq(2) ul.ui-sortable", $this).css("color", "#ff0000");  //third group - red
});

So just to be clear, you're wanting to change the border color around the "Agree" box to be green, correct? I replicated your JS in my own mock question and changing the text color makes it very difficult to read, especially the yellow.
Give me a touch more detail about what you're trying to achieve and I'll see what I can do :)
