css - Changing the highlight color when selecting text in an HTML text input

Question

I've been looking for this throughout the web and can't even find anyone else even asking this, let alone a solution...

Is there a way to change the color of the highlight area within a text input when text is selected? Not the highlight border or the background, but the portion that appears around the text when you have the text actually selected.
