    Hi,

    With Emacs 27.1, in the terminal the standard colour scheme, the pop-ups
    of the menu I get via F10 have a blue background and with the foreground
    for menu items being either white(-ish) or browny-orange. The
    highlighting background colour for selection is red, which for makes the browny-orange illegible.

    My questions are:

    1.

    The following changes the menu-bar itself, but not the pop-ups:

    (set-face-attribute 'menu nil
    :inverse-video nil
    :background "blue"
    :foreground "white"
    :bold t)

    How do I change the colour of the pop-ups?

    2.

    What is the difference between the two differently coloured menu items?

    It does not, for example, correspond to the greyed-out items I see with
    the GUI.

    3.

    Why is the default colour scheme the way it is?

    Cheers,

    Loris
