I tried having a peek at the code to see whether this would be an easy
thing to fix, and it applies the colour here:

(defun widget-color-sample-face-get (widget)
  (let* ((value (condition-case nil
		    (widget-value widget)
		  (error (widget-get widget :value)))))
    (if (color-defined-p value)
	(list (cons 'foreground-color value))
      'default)))

But, as usual when dealing with widgets, I had to give up, because I can
never follow the calling logic (everything seems to happen somewhere
else), and I don't know how to inspect the widgets, either.

If somebody else wants to take a whack at it, be my guest.  It's
probably trivial if you know how widgets work.
