Here's a simple ledger field component: negative values will show up
in red, positive values in the default color.

put this into a field script, then
set the NewValue of field "xyz" to someValue

setProp NewValue pValue
  try
    if pValue < 0 then
      set the foreColor of me to "red"
    else
      set the foreColor of me to empty
    end if
  end try
  put pValue into me
end NewValue
