in reply to Hard-coded colors breaking custom CSS settings.

you can put this in your custom css (to make it black text) and it will override the color="white" html attribute .. might, of course, break other font tags that don't have explictl styles, though..
font { color: #000000 }

    Better yet:

    font { color: inherit !important; font: inherit !important; }

    Now font tags have exactly zero effect.

    Makeshifts last the longest.

    I've also found this to be great for sizes.

    font { font-size: 100%; }
