Is there a style that will change the caret selection color in a Spark List?

Question

Is there a style or property that will change the caret selection color in a Spark List?

Note: The caret selection is the border color around a row when using the keyboard navigation. It is not the selected row.

Okay, tested around a bit and

        <s:fill>
            <s:SolidColor 
                color.normal="{color1}"
                color.normalAndShowsCaret="{color2}" 
                color.hovered="{color3}"
                color.hoveredAndShowsCaret="{color4}"
                color.selected="{color5}"
                color.selectedAndShowsCaret="{color6}"
                />
        </s:fill>
    </s:Rect>

   <s:Label text="{data}"/> 
</s:ItemRenderer>

and the actual caret color is third stroke, "s:stroke.selectedAndShowsCaret". Why my first comment didn't work was because it is also binded to color="{selectionColor}" by default, so you need to make a custom itemrender or adjust your current itemrenderer to match.
