Exactly what Tandy's OS-9 Level2 does on an RGB monitor. Level1 has a blue cursor.

It would really help if you gave some, heck any, details of your system and 
under what conditions the above happens.

Clearly color depends on the type of monitor, the OS-9 screen type, and the Coco 
NTSC vs PAL. What level of OS-9 is being used?

Ignoring why you see the above as a default, you can change the cursor color in 
OS-9 L1 with the Level1 command
display 5 n
where n is a $hex number: $20 cursor OFF, $21 cursor blue, $22 black, $23 green, 
$24 yellow, $25 blue, $26 red, $27 buff, $28 cyan, $29 magenta, $2A orange.
The above works with Level2 on the 32 col. text screen.
