AFAIK those should appear in the normal color.  What does happen, tho, is
that (sub|super)script are shown smaller (about 0.8 times the normal size)
and subscripts of subscripts are yet smaller (i.e. 0.64 times the size),
etc... so maybe it's not the color but just the small size.

In any case, do C-u C-x = on one of the problematic chars and then click on
the `face' property.
