In my dashboard I have a slicer which filters a large list of names. The default color for the text of a selected item seems to be black. My background color is black, so when an item is selected it makes it difficult to see. I have the color for my font set to be turquoise so unselected items show up fine. It would be nice to set the font color for selected items.

Really need this feature. At present its impossible to match to company colors with the black background on a selected item. Furthermore there is a gap at the right and left of the buttons when applying a background so the buttons don't center right;;;

I would like to see the option of updating the selection colours, as it's confusing to the end user what has actually been selected in the data set.

How does this need more votes? It has pages and pages of people complaining that this is a nightmare when formatting visuals. I am using Power BI for corporate work, and when trying to match visuals to corporate branding when it is dark is impossible. There are options to change this stuff for the filter pain, so why not the actual visualisations themselves (which would actually be more useful)?

Should be able to change both the color of the text and background of the selected item.

This should have been added years ago, the horizontal slicer is used pretty often and black selected item never fits in the report's design.
