Sorry, typo in command, the command is:

/set irc.network.colors_receive off

For users with non patched version, this command is recommended, to ensure that buffer overflow will not happen:

/set weechat.network.colors_receive off

Fixed in devel and new stable version 0.3.9.1 has been released.
Upgrade is recommended.
