This would have no effect as nothing inherits from the column elements and column elements cannot have foreground content. If you wanted to do this sort of thing, what I think you would need is a new colour keyword, e.g. "column", which you would use on the table cells and which would reflect the colour property of the relevant column. I suspect it would also require the generation of virtual column type elements when a table cell or header type element was used without a column type element (I use "type" because I don't want to check the proper display property values). Widths are special because every cell in a column has to have the same width for table formatting to make sense.
