@prsadhuk As we discussed earlier, I checked JLabel rendering in 
AquaLookAndFeel. Basically, `AquaLabelUI` class doesn't override the 
`installDefaults` method and so the `installDefaults` method of `BasicLabelUI` 
class is invoked which set the foreground, background and font property through 
LookAndFeel and which fetch them from UIManager property.
