Have a look at the following discussions on the same:
Set ComboBox selected item highlight color[^]
How to change ForeColor of ComboBox's Selected Item?[^]

One of them says:
Override the SystemColors.HighlightBrushKey (and SystemColors.HighlightTextKey if you want):

XML

<ComboBox> <ComboBox.Resources> <SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.HighlightBrushKey}">Red</SolidColorBrush> </ComboBox.Resources> <ComboBoxItem>One</ComboBoxItem> <ComboBoxItem>Two</ComboBoxItem> </ComboBox>

Try out!
