Specifying null would cause `unselectedForeground` and `unselectedBackground` to be null https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/74dca863c2e61c13884c3454b8da7be125235970/src/java.desktop/share/classes/javax/swing/table/DefaultTableCellRenderer.java#L146-L148 so it will fallback to table assigned foreground and background color https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/74dca863c2e61c13884c3454b8da7be125235970/src/java.desktop/share/classes/javax/swing/table/DefaultTableCellRenderer.java#L215-L217 https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/74dca863c2e61c13884c3454b8da7be125235970/src/java.desktop/share/classes/javax/swing/table/DefaultTableCellRenderer.java#L224-L226 Also, as is mentioned in the review https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/28549#discussion_r2570711017 discerning gray with white can be difficult and not hugely different so maybe people have lived with it ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/28549#issuecomment-3640038716
