Also remember that some users might need to change to colors that a
designer might consider non-optimal. There's a strong belief that
dark-on-white text is best for screen, but for those of us that are
light sensitive, green or orange on black is best if we're manipulating
large amounts of text.

One of the sites that talks on color and usability is :
http://www.colormatters.com/usability.html. You can also google for
more info on this topic.
About the color and download speed:
The fact is that any information over the internet is just binary
data that is processed via the user's computer. The speed would
depend on the connection speed, the inflow of color information, the
ability of the browser to decipher the color based on its internal
algorithm and properties and finally the ability of the graphic chip
on the mother board to aid in the processing of the color on the
user's screen. With the current advancement of technology, all this
happens in a matter of milliseconds or less.
Hope this helps.
