Why did paragraph styles change their mind during a project?

Using CS6 (CC), I am converting a booklet our firm designed to Kindle. Since we'd cut all the text apart, and it was edited several times for the original, I'm cutting and pasting into a new document, setting up shiny new paragraph styles, and essentially creating a clean document for export.

 

However, some odd things have happened en route, as follows:

 

1. One paragraph style established is "intro text." Based on "no paragraph style," set to black Adobe Garamond, etc. etc. It works perfectly throughout the document except for the very first page. When I apply the same paragraph style to its text, the text shows completely differently (bright red, Meta). No override showing. I may just re-key the text and try setting it up from scratch, but any ideas why the same paragraph style that works on every other page doesn't work here? (Screen capture showing selected type and style that works everywhere else below.)

 

2. The book is color keyed by section, so the first section has all red heads/subheads, the next yellow heads/subheads, etc. I established the yellow subhead based on the red one, changing the color in the "color" box in paragraph styles. Several pages into the second section, the yellow subhead para style suddenly changed its mind and refuses to make the subhead yellow unless I manually override it in the text box. Even though yellow is indicated in the color box (see example below), and even though it was working perfectly for several pages, this style now refuses to act according to its settings. However, it works perfectly if I apply it to some other kind of text where I don't want it to work (see example below)! So the same paragraph style works differently when applied to different text on the same page. (aaaarrrrrgh)

 

Has anyone experienced this issue or these issues, and what have you done to solve it/them?

 

Thanks!
