How to change the highlighted text's Foreground color for a WPF TextBox?

I am working on an application having both WinForms and WPF controls; In case of WinForms TextBox selected text Background color comes Blue and White respectively whereas in WPF TextBox it is LightBlue and Black.

As answered in these questions I can use SelectionBrush property(WPF 4) to change the selected text's background, but How can I change the foreground color of selected text?

Pre .NET 4.8 this is not possible.

As noted by Woodman, this has been changed in .NET 4.8 with the introduction of the SelectionTextBrush property.

Starting with .net 4.8 it is possible in TextBox using TextBoxBase.SelectionTextBrush https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.controls.primitives.textboxbase.selectiontextbrush?view=net-5.0
