Why bother? In the end, you will only confuse people.

yep, just imagine if all posts had this problem

If you really want to have this option for yourself (and others) ... I recommend giving admins the ability to choose their own "global" colors. For example, if they have a black background they will not want to have black as an option.

Regarding font-family, some fonts appear smaller in some configurations and may seem unreadable -- so, I suggest using only fonts that have the same height. For example, Garamond may appear unreadable at 12px to some people.
