One of the sites that talks on color and usability is : http://www.colormatters.com/usability.html. You can also google for more info on this topic.
About the color and download speed: The fact is that any information over the internet is just binary data that is processed via the user's computer. The speed would depend on the connection speed, the inflow of color information, the ability of the browser to decipher the color based on its internal algorithm and properties and finally the ability of the graphic chip on the mother board to aid in the processing of the color on the user's screen. With the current advancement of technology, all this happens in a matter of milliseconds or less. Hope this helps. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
