Ink doesn't create its color the way paint does.

Paint is opaque. Light hits the surface of the paint film, the wavelengths of light that don't correspond to the color your thing is are absorbed.

Ink that isn't black is transparent. Really it is. Light passes through it and strikes the paper surface. The paper absorbs certain wavelengths of light. Then the light passes back through the ink film where the wavelengths not needed for the color of ink are absorbed. A cream-color paper will absorb different wavelengths than a blue-white paper.

Dose the color of paper affect the rate at which you read?

The color of paper "may" affect on the rate you read. Most pages are white, if you read in bright light the light makes the white much brighter which "could" hurt your eyes and slow you down by the nerves in your eyes and brain from the brightness. But not commonly, actually not at all common, have there been a person that has the color of paper control their reading rate. Maybe there is, I don't know.
