How to change the color of explorer items of vscode

As this screenshot shows, vscode has multiple sections that I can click, But because of my color scheme, I can hardly see which one I'm selecting right now.

picture 1

I already know that using settings like

"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
    "list.focusBackground": "#571863",
    "list.inactiveFocusBackground": "#56186393",
}

can change the background color of the focused file or directory(shown as picture2).

picture 2

But those settings can't change the background color of selected sections.

And I also want to know how to switch between those sections (e.g. in this picture, OUTLINE, TIMELINE, JAVAPROJECTS) using the keyboard only.

Thanks in advance.~~~~~

Add this to your settings.json.

"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
  "sideBar.foreground": "#9A9A9A"
}
