Yes, there is a difference. By default, we indeed set to color at all, making the renderer fall back to the default (e.g. as in Appearance|Colors). Setting it to black would override the default (which happens to be black, but could be anything). The difference is most obvious, if you set the color in your user stylesheet, so that e.g. different quote levels have different colors. The color preference would override the user stylesheet and make the different coloring impossible. No, there is currently no way in the UI to set it back to none (only by editing prefs.js). I consider this a bug and I filed it long ago, but it hasn't been deemed important enough to fix it yet. Ben
