The faces you look for are, among others:

font-lock-preprocessor-face
font-lock-string-face

You can find that out (and the others) with this function:

(defun what-face (pos)
  (interactive "d")
  (let ((face (or (get-char-property (point) 'read-face-name)
                  (get-char-property (point) 'face))))
    (if face (message "Face: %s" face)
      (message "No face at %d." pos) )))

Or try `describe-char' - possibly, more robust, but also
verbose/disruptive (it opens a new buffer, as opposed to using the
echo area).

Then, in ~/.emacs, set it up like this:

(custom-set-faces
 ;;; gnus face
 '(gnus-cite-1 ((t (:foreground "yellow" :bold nil))))
 '(gnus-cite-2 ((t (:foreground "green"  :bold nil))))
 '(gnus-cite-3 ((t (:foreground "blue"   :bold t  ))))
 ; ...
 )

Only, of course, you are not setting up the Gnus colors.
