Can you post a snippet of what the offending CSS code looks like? I wonder if it makes a difference whether the Word style (for Normal, for example) has the color set to "auto" rather than black. Maybe it's a problem that can be avoided by carefully setting the styles in Word.

I don't have any real-world examples on hand at the moment (having fixed them myself on my local copies), but it generally ends up as "color: #000000;" or variations thereof ("black", "#000", "#0", "rgb(0,0,0)", etc; basically all the synonyms for "black" that CSS accepts). This almost certainly comes from Word styles that explicitly set the font color to black rather than using the default "Automatic". I'm not familiar with Smashwords' publishing process, whether they provide a Word template or if authors accidentally break things themselves ("The guide says, 'don't use colors', so I'm going to explicitly set my font to black", despite black being a color and the guide should've said leave font colors as default/automatic). That's assuming it's not meatgrinder itself breaking the styles.
