I suspect that's a "feature" of the Meatgrinder, although I'm not sure; would have to check if it supports default-color text. Because it insists on using Word's styles, a color may be hard-coded into those.

I just checked the Smashwords build of one of my own books, on my PDA in Freda (the only place where night-time mode has any relevance). It displayed just fine. I'm sure every reading app is different, though.
I find that SW produces quite decent ebooks if you go to the trouble (and it is, truthfully, a
lot of trouble) to produce a really clean Word doc. I also find that a conversion from Word to html to epub via Calibre can produce very good results, even without touching the html in between. You won't get fancy embellishments, but you will get a good-looking, readable ebook. Same with mobi.
