When I try to set the foreground color of a face, e.g. with:
M-x set-face-foreground RET font-lock-string-face RET
and then press TAB to see the available colors, then Emacs displays the
list of colors as background with text in the default foreground.
It would be more useful to see the text with the candidate color as
foreground on the default background.
Maybe you could consider this patch:
diff --git a/lisp/faces.el b/lisp/faces.el
index 44d64c743ba..6233afb0d4d 100644
--- a/lisp/faces.el
