well, I find colors completely useless, so I made a minor change to
/usr/X11R5/lib/X11/app-defaults/Netscape:

! Normally, the user-specified colors and backgrounds will only be used when
! viewing documents which did not specify their own colors and backgrounds.
! If this resource is set to False, then the user-specified colors and
! backgrounds will always be used, regardless of the options specified in 
! the document itself.
!
*documentColorsHavePriority:		False

you may have to specify all the colors in the same file.  if you're under
the influence of Bill Gates, you may be out of luck.  I don't know or care.

of course, Netscape being a mass-market software vendor, this doesn't work
for <FONT COLOR="unreadable">...</FONT>.  but what could you expect?
