To copy a specific attribute (foreground in this case) you can use
something like

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(with-eval-after-load "font-latex"
  (set-face-attribute 'font-latex-script-char-face nil
              :foreground (face-attribute 'font-latex-math-face
                          :foreground)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

or replace the `(face-attribute ...)' with the color you like.

I don't know if there is something simpler.  You can inherit an entire
face with `:inherit` attribute, but that doesn't override other
attributes already set.

Bye,
