What if two or more faces have the same foreground and background?
I don't consider that a real solution; it is the best I know of at the
moment (other than having someone on the group tell me the name of the
face in reply to a question :-) ).
I believe that the description of a face given by placing point
over a field and typing C-u C-x = should tell you
the face of a popup that is triggered when the mouse is over that
field.
