The v6 way to change the bracket colour is the "Syntax Errors" setting
on the Edit->Preferences->Appearance->Syntax Coloring->Errors and
Warnings.
If you want to keep using your old stylesheets to set the colour, you
can do this by setting "SyntaxErrorStyle"->{"UnmatchedBracket"} or
whatever other style you want to use (this is the same setting that is
modified by the preferences dialog, just you can give a style this way
rather than just a colour.
If your brackets aren't being highlighted at all, check that you have all 3 of:
"HighlightSyntaxErrors"->True
ShowAutoStyles->True
ShowSyntaxStyles->True
Be aware that the frontend doesn't seem to be very good at tracking
changes to the "UnmatchedBracket" style. Sometimes I have to restart
the frontend before it notices a change to the stylesheet (it sees it
if I put some text in explicit "UnmatchedBracket" style, just it
doesn't use it for it's syntax highlighting until I restart).
