On further investigation, scanning through the product xml, you have

<style type="text/css">
.newsdate_alt1
{
	background: $stylevar[tcat_bgcolor];
	color: $stylevar[page_bgcolor];
	font: bold 10px verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
	text-align: right;
}
.newsdate_alt2
{
	background: $stylevar[tcat_bgcolor];
	color: $stylevar[page_bgcolor];
	font: bold 10px verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
	text-align: right;
}

And it looks like you assume that the page background color will be ok for a font. On our forums it is not.
Where does this style information get stored? I want to change the font color to black.
Thanks
