See the definition of the `region' face in faces.el. On displays with
sufficient colors, the face definition sets just :background, leaving
the remaining face attributes unspecified; those will generally be set
from the font-lock face.
On 8-color displays, both :background and :foreground is set. This is
quite reasonable, because of the paucity of colors on such displays.
