But there's no compelling reason in the first place to visualize
selection by inverting the colors. If you want "consistency" it can be
achieved by having an actual selection color pair, or by _always_ using
the default colors, but that's bikeshed painting. The reason why someone
might have same-fg-as-bg on their screen is beside the point - having no
way to make that text visible is a usability issue.
