Using custom colors when I do not have it selected

Question

I have a web page in a restricted folder on the server hosting my website. It contains several links to private functions I use to maintain my message board.
I experimented with the custom colors option under Tools|Options|Content|Colors by un-checking the "Allow pages to select their own colors, instead of using my selection above". It worked but could not return this specific page to using it's on colors for V/U Links.
Problem. Even after re-checking "Allow pages to select their own colors...", it still used whatever colors I but in the boxes for the UVLinks and the VLinks.
It is as if this specific page ignores the turning of the custom radio button on/off and always uses the custom colors and not the colors from the code in the page itself.
All three (3) radio buttons are checked.
Use system colors,
Underline links and,
Allow pages to choose their own colors.
Other pages seem to be using their own colors except this one page which is not public due to being password protected using .htaccess/.htpasswd on the server.
It worked fine until it played with turning this feature on/off now I cannot get it back to using the pages own colors.
