[TYPO3-RTE] HTMLArea 1.7.5 and colors

I suggest to use RTE.default.useCSS = 1 (as you found out).
This is the best you can do for now for colors as the RTE is still using 
the native browser methods (note that IE will still use font tags).

and to check "Enable additional inline elements" in the Extension 
manager. This will change the behaviour of the b/strong, i/em and all 
inline elements buttons (see the manual for more details). But the 
markup will be clean.
