User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/112.0
Steps to reproduce:
Settings (General) > Colors > Manage Colors
Change Background to obvious color (non-black/white; I randomly chose Apple's 'Strawberry')
Set 'Override the colors specified by the page with your selections above' to Never
Load affected page (current pages I'm looking at: 'https://apps.statefarm.com/my-accounts/' 'https://photos.google.com/'; both are logged into an account)
One of the main issues that I see on affected sites is that the font color is not overridden, but the background is. When the background color is set to dark and the text color to light, this causes pages to not be legible (black text on dark background).
Actual results:
Page shows new color instead of page's intended color
Expected results:
Page honors 'Never' setting and does not display the colors selected in Settings > Color

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Settings UI' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Reproducible on MacOS 11 and Windows 10 as well.
I'm setting the flags accordingly.
Thank you for reporting!

Same bug on macOS 10.15.7 with Firefox 115.0.2
The user's choice of Never | Always | Only with High Contrast Themes is simply ignored inside Colors > Manage Colors > Override the colors specified by the page with your selections above
I de-activated all Add-Ons because I thought I must have a color override somewhere else, but no. Changing the color over-ride to a different color immediately makes pages turn that color, including blank new tab backgrounds, even when it's set to "Never".

I meant to add: the only way to fix the problem is to go into about:config and manually reset the related Color preferences
I don't see a way to edit my previous comment to add that detail, so I'm adding a new comment.
