Message #5 received at submit <at> debbugs.gnu.org (full text, mbox):
Compare the descriptions of `foreground-color' and `background-color':
'foreground-color'
The color to use for the image of a character. It is equivalent to
the ':foreground' attribute of the 'default' face.
'background-color'
The color to use for the background of characters. It is
equivalent to the ':background' attribute of the 'default' face.
The latter is OK. The former talks about "the image of a character",
which is unclear and misleading. Certainly this has nothing to do with
other uses of "image" in the context of Emacs, and the phrase is
undefined here.
Please consider using language for foreground similar to what is used
for background, or make the former description clear in some other way.
(If you really want to keep the form of the description and just replace
"image" there then maybe use something like "grapheme" or "figure" or
"appearance" or "representation" or "form". But "image" is misleading
here.)
