    • Personalize>
    • Windows Color and Appearance>
    • Open Classic Appearance Properties>
    • Advanced>
    • and choose 'Selected Items' from the 'Item' dropdown menu.


    You can use any color you wish, including a custom one.

    It's the difference in colour between the item and the font, but I think it only works in Classic mode.
