Steve,
1. Define variables for the two fields you want to compare.
2. Give the two objects on the report component ids.
3. In the On Before Generate EEP for the BAND the fields are located:
IF var1 <> var2 THEN
PROPERTY <componentid> FONT_COLOR 'White'
PROPERTY <componentid> COLOR 'Black'
ELSE
PROPERTY <componentid> FONT_COLOR 'Black'
PROPERTY <componentid> COLOR 'White'
ENDIF
