Question

I\'ve been looking for this throughout the web and can\'t even find anyone else even asking this, let alone a solution...

Is there a way to change the color of the h

Answer 1

I guess this can help :

selection styles

It's possible to define color and background for text the user selects.

Try it below. If you select something and it looks like this, your browser supports selection styles.

This is the paragraph with normal ::selection.

This is the paragraph with ::-moz-selection.

This is the paragraph with ::-webkit-selection.

Testsheet:

p.normal::selection {
  background:#cc0000;
  color:#fff;
}

p.moz::-moz-selection {
  background:#cc0000;
  color:#fff;
}

p.webkit::-webkit-selection {
  background:#cc0000;
  color:#fff;
}
