Changing Font Color in HTML Email for AOL Mail

EDIT: I should mention that the layout was done with tables. I've even tried styling the parent <td> element to get the desired appearance. Still, no bananas.
How do you change the font color of text in an HTML email in AOL's client?
I've tried the following code:
<td>
<span style="color:#FFFFFF;">My Text</span>
</td>
After some suggestions from the community, I've also tried the following approach:
<td>
<font color="white">My Text</font>
</td>
Unfortunately, the text color doesn't change at all. In fact, when viewing the computed styles in Firebug, it doesn't show any color being applied to the element.
I'd expect this to work since all other inline styles work fine and the email is rendered beautifully in every other major client.
Thanks in advance for your help.

You're telling me, man. I'm designing a mass email for my client at the moment, and I've got to make sure that it is going to render correctly across all of the major email clients. AOL qualifies as "major" apparently.

Yeah, using the MS Word engine to render HTML in Outlook was a horrible idea. I've been cursing Microsoft for quite some time for that little snafu.

<a style="text-decoration: none;" href="{$shareWithFriendsLink}">
<span style="text-decoration: none; color: #ffffff;">
htt<span></span>{$shareWithFriendsLink|substr:3} </span></a>
Empty <span></span> prevent mail client for recognizing string as link.
|substr:3 are in use for Smartys variables for cut off first 3 symbols (htt) added before manually.

<a style="text-decoration: none;" href="{$shareWithFriendsLink}">
<span style="text-decoration: none; color: #ffffff;">
htt<span></span>{$shareWithFriendsLink|substr:3} </span></a>
Empty <span></span> prevent mail client for recognizing string as link.
|substr:3 are in use for Smartys variables for cut off first 3 symbols (htt) added before manually.

You might find this link helpful if you have to support all "major" clients: msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/… Microsoft totally destroyed a 1 time descent rendering capabilities in Outlook by replacing it with the rendering capabilities of Word which means MSFT hates web developers and we need to code like it's 1999

Yeah, using the MS Word engine to render HTML in Outlook was a horrible idea. I've been cursing Microsoft for quite some time for that little snafu.
