Comment (by joedolson):

 What adding the background/foreground colors does is ensure that the
 container will have adequate contrast. There is no guarantee that the
 colors will be inherited appropriately; it depends on what container they
 end up in and how colors are applied in the CSS.

 But I also agree that just *not* applying any colors at all ensures that
 we're at least not causing any problems, and means there's no risk of
 accidentally overriding existing colors.

 Removing the error class seems fine.

 I don't think it's an option to remove `span.h3`, as those will definitely
 have styles targeting them; but reducing the customizations is helpful, to
 me.

 `#language` is used by `wp_install_language_form()`, which is rendered in
 install.php and in setup-config.php; but I don't think there's any case
 where it would appear in `wp-activate.php`. But this CSS selector has been
 present since this was originally added to core 17 years ago, and I don't
 see anything obvious. I don't think it has any current relevance, even if
 it once did.
