Hi there, I have a WPF application where I use a ComboBox. But my problem is, the ComboBox foreground color that means the text color are flatucating when I change the selection of the ComboBox. But I need to remove the fluctuation and give it to the Foreground color #939393 (Grey).

Here is my Control template:

<Style x:Key="ComboBoxItemStyle" TargetType="{x:Type ComboBoxItem}">
     <Setter Property="Background" Value="#1e1e1e" />
     <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="#1e1e1e" />
     <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="#939393" />
     <Setter Property="SnapsToDevicePixels" Value="True" />
     <Setter Property="UseLayoutRounding" Value="True" />
     <Setter Property="RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode" Value="NearestNeighbor" />
     <Setter Property="RenderOptions.ClearTypeHint" Value="Enabled" />
     <Setter Property="Template">
         <Setter.Value>
             <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ComboBoxItem}">
                 <Grid>
                     <Border
                                 x:Name="Bd"

When I close the drop down of the ComboBox the Foreground color first changes to white and after that it becomes grey But I only want the Grey (#939393). Though the Foreground color changes too quickly and it's very hard to notice that's why I attach some GIF to understand it better.

Here is my ComboBoxItem control template :

<Style x:Key="ComboBoxItemStyle" TargetType="{x:Type ComboBoxItem}">
     <Setter Property="Background" Value="#1e1e1e" />
     <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="#1e1e1e" />
     <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="#939393" />
     <Setter Property="SnapsToDevicePixels" Value="True" />

             <TextBlock x:Name="textBlock"  SnapsToDevicePixels="True" UseLayoutRounding="True" RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="HighQuality" RenderOptions.EdgeMode="Aliased" 
         Text="{Binding Name}" 
         TextTrimming="CharacterEllipsis" ></TextBlock>
         </DataTemplate>
     </ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
 </ComboBox>

What I have tried:

I also try to change foreground using IsFocused but somehow the whole thing is messed up and I don't get the desire effect.

You should be overriding the color resources in the control's template; not creating a new style.
