There's a whole bunch of things that can have a colour when customising
a face -- like stipple background/foreground, overline, etc. I don't
know whether it makes sense to special-case just the (main) background
colour... but perhaps that does make sense, because it's a pretty
common thing to customise. And showing the colour as a background
colour would give a more correct impressions.
But might be confusing if that one thing behaved differently than the
rest.
Anybody have an opinion here?
