if you don't specify any color for the page in iframe, it will use the body background color from the page contains the iframe, but not the foreground color. 

For example, <body bgcolor="000000" text="FFFFFF">... <iframe ....>... </body>
iframe will take bgcolor as "000000", but not use text color as "FFFFFF", it seems use system default text color which may not be a good color setting for the container's background color.

It should either take both foreground and background setting from container page or not take take any of them at all.

This is also true when the color is set using css, iframe only use background color set by css, not foreground.

Almost, but not quite: the CSS spec says the default background color for root elements (which includes iframe) is transparent, while the default color for root elements is whatever the browser uses for a default color. Nothing's inherited into the iframe, background or foreground, it's just transparent so you're seeing the background color from the page below it.
