I'm writeing here first time.
I've changed colors:
F.Cu and Pads Front to be gray.
F.Silks and Edge.Cuts to be black.
In my footprints I have designators (D1, D2,...) at F.Silks.
File|Export|SVG.. (layers F.Cu + F.Silks + Print board edges) gives me svg where everything is OK except designators are not black. I don't know from where they take their color.

Using Plot (instead of Export) to SVG appears to work correctly.

When using the Export path, the references (but not other silk items) get filled with #848484.

[Jeff Young (jeyjey)]

It's just an out-and-out bug. We use a single local variable to store the colour of both reference and value and the value colour overwrites the reference one before it gets used.
