Colour of selected text in Dark/Inverted Colours mode

Low Vision Accessibility on Apple Products

Hi everyone,
As a person with low vision, I find it very difficult to see when text is selected on Mac OSX Ventura 13.6.1 in Dark Mode or with Inverted Colours On as the options to change highlight colours in the Finder preferences blend in too much with the dark back ground.
Many thanks for any ideas or suggestions,
Claire

I have exactly the same question. In several cases (eg with Inverted colors) selecting text and also seeing the cursor is very hard for me due to lack of contrast with the background color.
This eg happens in apple Notes and Mail.
Would love having a bright eg yellow highlight colour, the available colours lack contrast and do not suffice for me.

Would really appreciate any tips how to improve this.
