I'm not seeing how what you're proposing:
color: auto

would be any more effective than:
color: #00f !important;

The user may have multiple stylesheets of their own which they may switch in for Accessibility's sake depending on the site. Negotiations finer to this ought to be features of varying User Agents (browsers). Adding color: auto just seems to be redundant.
