Change text-color when double clicked

Question

I am having an issue with figuring out how to change the default color on the normal text when its selected/clicked.

I can not remember what its called and I can't find it when I inspect the the code.

I am working on a WordPress child theme version of Zerif Lite.

I have included a picture of how it looks when clicked and that is also what I would like to change.

I hope you can help me! :)

Do you want to highlight the selected text in a specified color? — Sukanya Purushothaman, Aug 28 '18 at 09:40
Yes, the website colours for my website are blue, so it just seems off to have it be pink. — Nadia Elida Aamand, Aug 28 '18 at 09:44
So you can search the wordpress files for `::selection` and change them OR add a `::selection { background-color:whatever !important }`to your page — mplungjan, Aug 28 '18 at 09:45

You can use CSS to highlight the selected text.

::-moz-selection { /* Code for Firefox */
color: white;
background: #ffc0cbfa; //Pink color

}

::selection {
color: white;
background: #ffc0cbfa; //pink color

}
