Change the following CSS in your StyleSheet to change the colours to suit your theme. Either set the light theme check box in settings to be able to toggle between styles or just overwrite the default box/background.

atom-text-editor, atom-text-editor::shadow {
  // Box 
  .highlights .highlight-selected .region {
    border-color: #ddd;
  }
  // Background 
  .highlights .highlight-selected.background .region {
    background-color: rgba(155, 149, 0, 0.6);
  }
  // Light theme box (set in settings) 
  .highlights .highlight-selected.light-theme .region {
