in filetypes.common (make a copy in your config directory not the
system copy) there is:

# 3rd selection argument is true to override default foreground
# 4th selection argument is true to override default background
selection=0x000000;0xc0c0c0;false;false

Edit 0xc0c0c0 to the colour you want and set the last false to true.
