As can just a few people telling the world a book is crap because it would not respect their personal text color choice.

You're basically trading one problem for another. In my opinion, the problem begins and ends with trying to force particular text colors in an ebook at all. It's a print gimmick that doesn't translate well in the age of digital presentation choice. As you're finding out.

You mention that the user is god in once sentence, then presume to want to micromanage how those same gods should experience your book in the next.

The problem is not that you can't consistently guarantee the "correct" colors for every reader on every device under every circumstance. The problem is that you're resorting to trying to use colored text at all.

Just my opinion, of course.
