CSS text selection?

Question

I am trying to change the selection of text on my HTML page. I want to change the hex value in css for the selected text whenever I select any text from the paragraph. How can I do this in CSS?

For example, as shown in this image below, it changes color to blue.

Can this be done? if so how? any field in CSS?

Answer 1

As a complement to what Reinies wrote, and for future issues: you can get FireBug and right-click on an element and select "Inspect Element". This will give you the exact code you need.
