Sorry, this is not enough info for me to be sure what is going on.
Please at least tell the exact name of the face you customized this
way.

If you tried to customize the `menu' face, then I think this is the
expected behavior: Emacs currently cannot control the colors of the
toolkit widgets, and the menu bar and pop-up menus are created by the
toolkit in your build.  But if this is the case, the foreground and
background colors cannot be customized, while you seem to say that the
colors customization did work...

If I try the above for a different face, such as mode-line, I do get
what you expect: the colors are inverted.
