You probably have Tools | Options... | LibreOffice | Accessibility | 
Options for high contrast appearance | Use automatic font colour for 
screen display ticked. Remove the tick. (You may need to reload any 
document before its display will change.)

With this option ticked, the text is coloured in the document file 
and will print as coloured - but does not display as such. You can 
see the true text colour in Page Preview - unless you also have Tools 
| Options... | LibreOffice | Accessibility | Options for 
high-contrast appearance | Use system colours for page previews ticked.

Probably not.

I trust this helps.
