Probably I misunderstand, but that seems to be no particular issue. 
Isn't it the same with, e.g., font-sizes of headings? If I see it 
correctly, the current way to take care of that is to provide the LaTeX 
layout already in the work area, e.g. setting the headings to the 
appropriate font-size. No extra setting needed. Just the layout has to 
provide the right WYSIWYM style in order to work correctly. Or why would 
colors be different?

A possibility would be to have a layout setting for allowing "standard" 
customizations. Those could be either disabled/not enabled in classes 
that are incompatible with the standards or, even better, be overwritten 
by the appropriate custom command.
