I don't think that's generally useful -- when people specify colours in
HTML, they usually specify the background and foreground colours in
relation to each other.  Just heeding the foreground colour will often
render the text unreadable.

So I don't think this is something that should be added to shr, and I'm
closing this bug report.

Looks like a bug in how the background colours are rendered -- another
fallout of the :extend face property rework mess, perhaps?

Is this about the fact that the background color is not extended past
EOL to the edge of the window, perhaps?  If so, we could arrange it to
be extended -- would that solve the problem?

If this is not the problem, can you explain what you consider to be a
problem in this example?

I've now done this in Emacs 28.
