pgAdmin 3 didn't allow selection of the foreground colour, and I don't
recall anyone ever asking for it. It's clearly up to the user to not select
colours that won't work.

I'm fine with just setting the background colour to satisfy this
requirement, though if it's trivial to do, I have no objection to allowing
changes to the foreground colour.
