Background:
I love Chrome, and I love using it for reading the news. However I prefer a lower contrast reading background. When you highlight all the text on a web page, the background goes blue, and the text goes white. This is okay if I need to know it's highlighted but not pleasant for reading. However, if you click in the address bar while the text is highlighted, you get this great black on grey effect which is perfect for me. However, when in that mode, you can't use the keypad to navigate the page, you can only scroll.
So here's my question: How can I change the default highlight in Chrome color from blue to grey?
I posted this on the Chrome dev site years ago but nobody ever answered it, and I gave up (even deleted the link… bit of malaise I guess). I have just discovered superuser, and I bet someone here is up to the task.

There's also this Chrome extension called Highlight Color which does exactly that
And actually looks pretty neat from what I can see from the screenshots.
