Wouldn't it suffice to provide a `no-colors' theme that sets up the
standard font-lock faces so that they don't use colors but only bold
fonts, italics, underline, etc?

Probably, that wouldn't suffice because redefining each and every face
defined by some package isn't feasible.  But maybe that "theme" could
also advise `defface' and friends and strip color attributes from
face-specs.
