I am still confused.
Consider the attached svg image.

If I emacs -Q org-ltximg_404bde694c76aad6deecfc21e91c044a6afd7948.svg
I see black background and white foreground.

If I
1. emacs -Q
2. (put-text-property 1 2 'display (create-image "/tmp/ltximg/org-ltximg_404bde694c76aad6deecfc21e91c044a6afd7948.svg"))
I see red-ish background and white foreground.

Seemingly, background and foreground are inverted in the second case.

What am I missing?
