.styled-text-area .selection {
    -fx-fill: pink;
}

save this as a file say styled-text-area.css

put this file in same package with your application class

in your class, import this file like

area.getStylesheets().add(getClass().getResource("styled-text-area.css").toExternalForm());

this will make selection color pink

by following here and adding related style rules in styled-text-area.css you can achieve your other needs.

    Unfortunately, this does not seem to work for me... no change at all. I've overridden many other styles, and they work just fine. I wonder if there's another way. – user38725 Oct 13 '18 at 12:13
  • This only changes the highlighting color. But not the text color. – Franz Deschler Sep 01 '20 at 13:20
