To reproduce this problem:
Choose the Ambiance Theme from System->Preferences->Appearance in the theme tag.
Right click on the top panel.
Choose Add to Panel...
Choose CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor
Click the Add Button
The Frequency isn't visible or is barely visible to the right of the icon depending upon your monitor
Right Click and choose Preferences
Make sure the Appearance: item has Graphic and Text chosen
Click the Close button
Verify that the frequency still doesn't appear.

If you change themes you will see that the text color has enough contrast to be easily visible.
