I ran this test just to make sure, the generated html is not as
you fear and is correct (I used different colors though)

<html><body><span style="color: #347235;background-color: #FFFFFF;">a<span style="color: #0000A0;background-color: #FFFFFF;">b</span></span>c</body></html>

I can add this exact test as a unit test if you would like.
