I don't know if readable background is needed for set-foreground-color
like readable foreground is used for set-background-color.  I think
your change to not use readable background is more correct because
then the user will see how the selected color will fit with the background.
This helps to select a suitable combination of foreground/background
colors.  The same way maybe readable foreground should be removed
from the completions of set-background-color.  This would allow to see
how the current foreground color will look on different backgrounds
in the completion list.
