I am totally clueless about where to start!! You didn't state which particular system you're using, and I'm not familiar with it based on your description. I assume that there is some sort of function where all the text is filtered to replace the &n with the appropriate color strings. You should probably modify that function to take a parameter indicating that colors should be ignored. The problem with that is that you'd have to modify all the functions calling that function, probably including send_to_char, act, etc. Another way to do it would be to add a flag to the player's descriptor that you could toggle when you want to ignore color. You'd have to have a reasonably safe mechanism in place to make sure the toggle resets at the appropriate time. Of course, you would still need to modify the filter function to check the toggle.
