What is Selection Colors?

Selection Colors is a Chrome extension that is designed to replace the standard dark blue highlight and white text with customizable colors and transparency levels. The tool enhances readability by providing a better contrast between the text and background. Its intuitive options panel lets users easily pick their preferred colors for text and background, which then sync across all devices for a cohesive browsing experience.
