I would like to figure this out also. Anyone out there have any suggestions?
My guess is that the developers are working on implementing text and background color button but haven't yet done so --- that's why the buttons are commented and not active by default.
Okay, I just downloaded and installed the latest MediaWiki+FCKeditor build, and made a fascinating discovery. After enabling the text color/background color icons, I was *just by chance* editing a page using Firefox instead of my usual IE7. The color WORKED and STUCK. Colors are viewable with any browser, but, apparently, not properly editable with IE.
