That would be a good guess, Calibre respects the source as much as possible.

Many folks read these books on their computer and colored links within the book or to outside sources may be of benefit. In the future as ereaders migrate to an appropriate color format and more ereaders use wireless to connect to the world then colored links will become even more prevalent.

I agree that specifying a default color for the entire document limits the flexibility of that document, but that fault falls squarely at the feet of the initial person or group formatting the book.

I don't have an iPhone or equivalent device so I don't have a need for this, but maybe Calibre could add an option to strip out any color html code during conversion.
