For your and my better understanding:

- I had to unset foreground and background colors, as I wanted to use
  emacsclient -nw in xterm but the current theme was not quite
  readable in console

- to change the theme with customize-themes, I had to unset foreground
  and background color, as otherwise changing theme simply does not
  work. This may be another bug, and I do so for many months as a
  workaround to change the them. Usually I unset the
  foreground/background color, even if under emacs -Q and only then I
  am able to see the changes of the changing themes function
  customize-themes

- but this time I had both GUI and console, unsetting
  foreground/background color in console, made GUI have miniscule
  faces or fonts

Thus my intention is and was not to change the background and
foreground color, rather to unset it so that I can change the theme.

When the GUI practically disappears due to shrinkage of faces, that
still seem a bug, and shrinking faces are to me as user not related to
unsetting of foreground and background colors.
