When you select text in the Windows Terminal program, the Highlight and HighlightText colors defined in the WIN.INI's [colors] section are not used. Instead Terminal inverts the existing colors.

For example, if the Terminal screen is white with black text, then the selected (highlighted) text is white on a black background.
