That's why I asked if we could set the color to unspecified so users can
turn off the fill and background color will displayed in the sheet.
Otherwise, the user will have to modify their config files by hand which
isn't a reasonable solution.

Text color is modifiable depending on the type of text.  Take a look at
the Eeschema color settings.  Obviously you can only change the color
for an entire type of text not each text object.  The new file format
will support per object colors but that will not be available until well
after the stable 5 release.
