How to change the highlighted text's Foreground color for a WPF TextBox?

I am working on an application having both WinForms and WPF controls; In case of WinForms TextBox selected text Background color comes Blue and White respectively whereas in WPF TextBox it is LightBlue and Black.

As answered in these questions I can use SelectionBrush property(WPF 4) to change the selected text's background, but How can I change the foreground color of selected text?
