OT- javascript question removing style settings

You can set the color property to "inherit" and with a little cascade 
construction get the effect you want

span.style1 {color: blue; }

<span id="myspan" class="style1">blue</span>

In you javascript

document.getElementById('myspan').style.color='red'; //change to red

document.getElementById('myspan').style.color='inherit'; //back to blue
