Description
### Describe the bug
In a `SuggestionChosen` handler, using `SuggestionChosenEventArgs.Format.ForegroundColor` to set token text color only works if a `SuggestionChosenEventArgs.Format.BackgroundColor` is set to something other than `Colors.Transparent`.
If this isn't done then the foreground color used it the default dark blue for links.
### Steps to reproduce
```text
Use a handler such as this and observe the text is not white:
private void SuggestingBox_SuggestionChosen(RichSuggestBox sender, SuggestionChosenEventArgs args)
{
if (args.Prefix == "#")
{
args.Format.ForegroundColor = Colors.White;
args.Format.Bold = FormatEffect.On;
args.DisplayText = ((SampleDataType)args.SelectedItem!).Text;
}
else
{
args.DisplayText = ((SampleEmailDataType)args.SelectedItem!).DisplayName;
}
}
```
### Expected behavior
A background color choice should not be required, although I'm unsure if this is a limitation of the RichEditBox control.
