I must admit that colour has never been something I've considered...
it is, however, an option for the listings package.

I've had no problems with typeface etc for listings in the past.

The use of curved underscores for spaces is deliberate and whether this
is done will depend on your source language. You can customise this in
any case (see below).
In summary, you may need to add a line customising the listings
package. Check out the user manual at
: ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/listings/listings.pdf
and then have something like this in your org file near the top:
#+latex_header: \lstset{showspaces=false, ...}
(replacing ... with the other options you may wish).
HTH.
