Modern browsers allow to change the color of selected text.

::selection { 
    background: red;
    color: black;
}  
::-moz-selection { 
    background: red;
    color: black;
}  
::-webkit-selection { 
    background: red;
    color: black;
}  

Please note that the ::selection is not part of the current CSS3 specification. But it is supported in IE9+, Opera, Google Chrome and Safari.
