No, not simultaneously usable as foreground and background colours. For instance, on a light background, the default yellow is a good ‘highlighter’ background. If yellow is reconfigured to be dark enough to be usable as a foreground colour (i.e. brown), it's no longer usable as a background. You can't have both, and you can't assume the user has picked one or the other.
