I have a similar problem.  The following org-mode snippet:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+begin_src sh
echo <<EOF
  This is some input
EOF
#+end_src
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

generates, upon HTML export, the following code:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
<pre class="src src-sh"><span style="color: #b0c4de;">echo</span> &lt;&lt;EOF<span style="color: #ffff00; font-weight: bold;">
  This is some input
EOF
</span></pre>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The problem with this is that I find the yellow (ffff00 colour)
illegible on almost every monitor I use.  However, there is no class
nor id that I can adjust a style for the relevant span elements.  Even
if I define some CSS for the src or src-sh classes, these will be
overridden in the spans.  The HTML styles for the spans are hard-coded
in, it would appear.  Or maybe there is something I can configure
somewhere?

I will have a look at the export code later when I get a chance...
