On Mac the selected text is all white, the Html string is rendered by HtmlRenderer and the colour is changed depending on the contrast. This is the reason why it's different on Win & Mac. However the java.navigation/org.netbeans.modules.java.navigation.ElementScanningTask has hardcoded type color (TYPE_COLOR = "#707070"). If there is a safer colour in UIDefaults feel free to reassign back. When a tree or list item is selected the whole text should be painted with the default foreground color (i.e. white on Windows or Mac) instead of any custom color defined in item's HTML text. The tree model should strip all HTML color tags when rendering a selected item. Created attachment 136002 [details]

FYI: also here https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=229561 FYI: This issue also affects the Project View. Enable "versioning label decorator" and select a modified project. The versioning status information is black on blue. @Jan: Any news here? Any UI review? IMHO this is an important topic.
