I was going to say "no", but in the deepest recesses of my ~/.profile I
did find some stuff that direction! The "offending" line was something
like
export LESS_TERMCAP_so="$(printf '%b' 'ESC[01;44;33m')"; a="${a%_}"

…I don't think this invalidates the question. This was just the easiest
reproducer for me, but something akin to this could certainly happen "in
the wild". There can be, visually, quite a big difference between fore-
and background colours. Especially for high-contrast themes, I wouldn't
expect foreground colours—sometimes very saturated/dark—to be
particularly good when used as a background.
