Thunderbird 78 does not block the same foreground and backgorund colors from being set.
Hi.
I was playing around and wanted to see if Thunderbird 78 would prevent me from setting the foreground and background colors to the same or similar color. If users are unsure about what they are doing, they could render the GUI to be unreadable.
There needs to be a procedure to reset these values back to default outside of the program. For example, black on black, white on white, or two colors that are close together. If you do that forget about going in to Options and other Thunderbird settings pages.
Here's a screenshot of the area in question - HTML -

the fonts you can set within options/preferences and their colours only affect the body of emails. so if someone is confused enough to set the color to white on white I suppose they will turn up here like they have done for the last 20 years saying no one can read their emails, but they can not make Thunderbird unusable and can always easily correct the error.

Funny thing is that I tried this and I could not see Options, Account Settings, etc. Couldn't see where to click. Perhaps this is in conjunction with the Thunderbird Dark Mode problem in my other recent post.

I don't think you want to change the colors for composed mail, but rather the display colors in Preferences/General/Language & Appearance/Colors. Set the Text and Background colors, and try different override options.
