My immediate thought is that this ought to work, but testing it I can
see that it doesn't - there might be a bug there with the simple string
matching.

However, using a regular expression does work. So your LOG entry could
be written as
	LOG /var/log/messages %arpwatch COLOR=yellow

and you'll get the result you want.
