I believe you can customise the mode line entry for org-mode to
include a face to use for that particular element of the mode line.
For instance, check out the following variable:

  mode-line-buffer-identification

It specifies (in a local map) the face (mode-line-buffer-id) to use
for displaying the buffer name (bold by default) and this face can be
customised.  It should be possible to define a similar entry for
org-mode-line-string with an appropriately defined face?

HTH!
