Description

Description of the problem or steps to reproduce

I have specified a background color only for "selection":

color-link selection ",7"

Expected that only the background color would change, but the foreground color changed to "default".

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in micro on macOS Terminal with color-link selection ",7", then trace how selection foreground and background colors are parsed and applied. Done means specifying only a selection background leaves the foreground unchanged rather than setting it to default, with a regression test covering the configuration.
