Changing MenuStrip ForeColor when hovering

Question

How to change menuStrip ForeColor when hovering it? I've managed to make the background color transpared using this code:

private class MyRenderer : ToolStripProfessionalRenderer
    {
        public MyRenderer() : base(new MyColors()) { }
    }

    private class MyColors : ProfessionalColorTable
    {
        public override Color MenuItemSelected
        {
            get { return Color.Transparent; }

        }
        public override Color MenuItemSelectedGradientBegin
        {
            get { return Color.Transparent; }
        }

        public override Color MenuItemSelectedGradientEnd
        {
            get { return Color.Transparent; }
        }

        public override Color MenuItemBorder
        {
            get { return Color.Transparent; }
        }
    }

Now I want just the ForeColor to change when I hover it. Please help

    //Assuming black is the forecolor

    private void ToolStripMenuItem1_MouseEnter(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        ToolStripMenuItem1.ForeColor = Color.Orange;
    }

    private void ToolStripMenuItem1_MouseLeave(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        ToolStripMenuItem1.ForeColor = Color.Black;
    }
