Eric, You should look at your TexEnv parameters. Use something like DECAL or REPLACE. Looks like you are using the default, which is MODULATE, which takes into account the color of the polygon with the texture. Of course these modes (DECAL,REPLACE) will disable any lighting that is going on, but you seem to want that anyway.
