One trick I've found when playing with selection colours in a ListBox is to work with the system brushes rather than fighting against them.

When a ListBox is focused and an item is selected, that item's background is SystemColors.HighlightBrush. When the ListBox loses focus, however, the selected item's background becomes SystemColors.ControlBrush.

Knowing this, you can override the system brushes for that ListBox so that the items within are painted with the colours you want.

<ListBox>
    <ListBox.Resources>
        <!-- override the system brushes so that selected items are transparent
             whether the ListBox has focus or not -->
        <SolidColorBrush
            x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.HighlightBrushKey}" 
            Color="Transparent" />
        <SolidColorBrush
            x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.ControlBrushKey}" 
            Color="Transparent" />
        <SolidColorBrush
            x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.HighlightTextBrushKey}" 
            Color="Black" />
    </ListBox.Resources>
    <!-- ... your items here ... -->
</ListBox>
