Vim disable SpecialKey highlighting

I use set list lcs=tab:\❘\ to display tab indenting, and subtly set the color to be slightly lighter than my background. However, CursorLine seems to highlight these in white, which is unwanted. What can I do so that the color does not highlight, but stays the same?

Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do. Vim will use the foreground color of CursorLine, or Normal if the former isn't defined. It currently doesn't "mix" the color definitions from SpecialKey and CursorLine. You could suggest changing this behavior on the vim_dev mailing list.
