Colors aren't a bad thing really and they're easy enough to do - unless you're an insane person who doesn't format as they write and then have to go back and do it. The problem is when people use colors that are too dark to read and so now you've gotta highlight the text and it's tedious.

I don't like it because that's not how it's done in books either. Instead of coloring your text, it might be worthwhile to just write in a structured manner so that the question 'who said this' doesn't come up to begin with.

I know that's not the reason people do it now (I hope so at least) but that's what it was when it was first done IIRC. I used to do it then because I was a lousy writer but in general, investing the time to write properly (i.e. characters can't speak in the same paragraph, etc) makes it easier to read than colorcoding the fuck out of your post so it looks like a messy rainbow. 

It's not that bad in solo posts, but when you get collabs (which I already detest) with 20 colors in it it becomes a bit tedious. 

Also, people's screens show colors differently. I like using [color=black]black[/color] and I can read it perfectly fine on my laptop, but on my phone it's barely readable, and others also can't read it.

I colored my text because I saw it was a thing. I both had the thought that it was silly as reading isn't very hard AND wanted to just get back in the swing of things as smoothly as possible. Now I'm just wondering if it's worth the effort to uncolor all of the text I've colored. Oh god. Now I'm annoyed!

It's not worth the effort. Coding in BB codes without functions to remove it like you have in word (select and then hit control b) makes it a giant pain in the ass.
