Thanks for the information. Do you have any insight as to why the same code would generate such different results?

Color Pair 	
>Number	List Attribute
>1	Disabled option
>2	Enabled option
>3	Border and scroll bar*
>5	Message
>6	Selected list item
>9	Enabled list
>10	Disabled list

I guess you would want to change the 6th one. Something like

...
>COLOR RGB(0,0,0,255,255,255),RGB(0,0,0,255,255,255),,,,RGB(0,0,0,0,0,160)
