Ugh.
It's worse than that.

The *.tex file is full of these useless color commands that belong to
the postscript half.

Similarly the *.eps file is full of thousands of useless triplets:
  LT0
  2715 2933 M
  stroke
  LT0
  2719 2865 M
  stroke
  [ repeat 6000 times ]

Net result: nothing.
OK, this goes to the top of the must-fix list.
