Here is the custom function that I came up with, derived in part from `faces.el`, `color.el` and from Drew's color libraries.

(defun color-vector-calc (buffer-or-window pos fg-or-bg)
"Calculate the color vector of either :foreground or :background for the face at POS.
Sample usage:  (color-vector-calc (selected-window) (point) 'foreground)
The first argument BUFFER-OR-WINDOW is used in the context of `get-char-property'.
The second argument POS is a user specified `point' somewhere in the buffer/window.
The third argument FG-OR-BG is a symbol of either 'foreground or 'background"

      (frame (selected-frame))
      (+-default-face-fg
        (face-attribute-specified-or (face-attribute 'default :foreground frame 'default) nil))
      (+-default-face-bg
        (face-attribute-specified-or (face-attribute 'default :background frame 'default) nil))
      (faceprop
        (or
          (get-char-property pos 'read-face-name buffer-or-window)
          (get-char-property pos 'face buffer-or-window)
          'default))

          ((symbolp faceprop) faceprop)
          ((and (consp faceprop) (not (keywordp (car faceprop)))
                (not (memq (car faceprop) '(foreground-color background-color))))
           (car faceprop))
          (t ;; e.g., (:foreground yellow)
            faceprop)))
