After changing accent colour

Before changing accent colour.

SUMMARY
I'm using a dark theme (Catppuccin Mocha) where the selected and hover decorations are light as to stand out. As such, the selected text is dark to improve contrast. However, if I change the accent colour, the selected text is no longer what I set and that can make text unreadable in certain cases. in my case, the text is just "active colour"

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install a third part colour scheme. Dark colour schemes with a light accent colour and contrasty selected text work best.
2. Notice the colour of the text while hovering over something, For example, a text selection or selecting an item in a menu bar.
3. Change the accent colour.

OBSERVED RESULT
You should see that the selected colour remains the same.

EXPECTED RESULT
Selected colour changes to active text.
