I tend to think of the matter as a reminder to the braindead browser that paper is supposed to be white(-ish), even though the folks at Netscrape forgot that fact, whereas the ink will still almost always default to black, and so needs no re-specification. You folks who are using metaphorical "chalk" on a "blackboard" are the exception, not the rule. Tastes vary, and much too wildly for safety's sake. Hence Gnus' configurability, after all. Ensure your own colors get used everywhere, and the problem simply disappears. It may be a sledgehammer, but it works every time.
