It did the last time I looked at it with Lynx, which 
admittedly was a few years ago. Not everything came up 
particularly well, and of course there were no backgrounds 
or images, but it did degrade gracefully, rather than 
falling apart completely. In fact, I think the submit-less 
form-based joke page even worked in a Lynx test.

As to the colors, well, if either my screen or my eyes had 
trouble with certain colors, I'd simply set the browser to 
ignore page color settings and background images. (As it 
turns out, I'm just nearsighted, with a bit of 
astigmatism).

More to the point, the whole purpose of the Web was to 
provide an easy-to-use, application-neutral, OS-neutral, 
hardware-neutral system for sharing information. Writing 
to a specific browser, and not taking the time to design 
pages to degrade gracefully, defeats the whole purpose.
