Ok, one of this two:
	Preferences valueOfPreference: #selectedListItemForegroundColor
(Color r: 0.0 g: 0.0 b: 0.501)
	Preferences valueOfPreference: #selectedListItemBackgroundColor
(Color r: 0.156 g: 0.972 b: 0.976)


	Preferences valueOfPreference: #selectedListItemForegroundColor
(Color r: 0.156 g: 0.972 b: 0.976)
	Preferences valueOfPreference: #selectedListItemBackgroundColor
(Color r: 0.0 g: 0.0 b: 0.501)
