If you install Calibre on your Arch system using pacman, you need to know that while their packaged version is generally on par (functionality-wise) with the official version, there are going to be some differences. The official Calibre uses Qt6.8.2 and Python 3.11.12, while the pacman version uses the latest Qt6.9.1 and Python 3.13.3.
Qt6.9 WebEngine (which Calibre and Sigil use for rendering) introduced many new bugs. So it's quite possible that the issue with not being able to produce colored text without using webkit css IS something on your end. I'll check on my Arch system when next I'm in its presence.
If, however, you're using the official Calibre installer, then ignore everything I said above.
EDIT: also... does Calibre provide a mechanism for overriding its reader's css by the user (like Sigil does)? Just making sure there's not something like that in play here.
