[Bug 1962314] [NEW] grub 2 custom.cfg colors not all used in Advanced options

[Guy Rouillier]

Public bug reported:

1) Ubuntu MATE 21.10
2) grub 2.04-1ubuntu47
3) I created a /boot/grub/custom.cfg with the following entries:

color_normal="light-gray/blue"
color_highlight="white/blue"
menu_color_normal="light-gray/blue"
menu_color_highlight="yellow/magenta"

I expect these colors to be used on both the initial menu showing the OS
version, Advanced options, and two Memory test options; and also on the
Advanced options showing the list of available kernels.

4) What I'm seeing is that these colors are accurately reflected on the
initial text menu.  However, if I select Advanced Options to show the
list of kernels, then the first three color specs are shown properly.
But the last one, for the highlighted menu entry is not respected.
Instead, the default combination of white/blue is used instead.
