Sorry, I don't know about the issue of font colours. All I can say is that blindly pressing buttons hoping for a perfect outcome is misguided at best. You really need to understand what you are trying to accomplish, and by that you need to understand the basics of epub structure, css, html, xml and regex.

I started this about 4 years ago, and I had no clue on any of that. NO CLUE. You should have seen the mess I made of the first book. But quite a bit of reading, experimenting and it started to sink in. Then came across this forum, and picked up even more pointers from the very helpful members here.

Now about 500+ books later, I can do it in my sleep... almost. A somewhat clean book can be fixed within half an hour, but some books are a total mess and can take a few hours.

As for having time... what is the rush? Do you have a deadline that requires you to rush these books into distribution? Slow down, understand what it is you are doing, and you will save yourself quite a bit of stress and frustration when things aren't working out.
