I was able to reproduce this, to a point. After I loaded the tc-maxx
scheme, Aspell displayed its text in tc-maxx blue. So far, so good. But
then I changed the text color to green and saved the palette under a
new name, IBMgreen. This new color scheme does indeed take effect
whenever I open ConEmu. (And I can see the settings for IBMgreen when I
open ConEmu.xml in a text editor.) BUT -- if I run Aspell, the text
color ALWAYS reverts to tc-maxx blue! This happens whether I launch
Aspell from frame ASPL, from a cmd.exe window, or from ConEmu itself.
What's more, if I load a different ConEmu palette, with bright text,
Aspell adopts that text color. But when I revert to IBMgreen, Aspell
goes back to tc-maxx blue.

I think you're right that Aspell tries to force white text on a black
background and that the ConEmu color scheme sometimes stymies it. But
if this mysterious process obeys any rules, I can't begin to describe
them. But I'm glad that you were able to able to tame the beast to your
satisfaction.
