I think the normal is to have the highlight background colour depend on the
current displayed colours.  So, if the current text is being displayed as
black on white, then highlighting as black on light blue is a good idea. 
I'm not sure how to codify this: maybe selectedTextBackgroundColor is the
normal background colour plus 60 degrees Hue, normal - 20% Saturation,
normal - 20% Value?

I probably expressed that badly.
