You can easily change the background and the text color of the selected text using CSS properties defined below

}

::selection {

In case you want to implement this into your Wordpress blogs then you just need to open the Wordpress theme directory ( wp-content/themes/yourthemename/style.css) and the above CSS files into your style sheet. background-color-change-text-css

Note:

I used the red shade (#cc3333) because its my default color scheme, you may used the colors matched with your webpage.

<strong>::-moz-selection</strong>
for Mozilla Firefox whereas ::selection is used for default Safari browsers.
