If you figure out how you did it accidentally, please be sure to post
back and let us know. :)

The only thing I know of that affects that color is to go to Control
Panel > Display > Appearance > Advanced and change the color of the
"Selected Items" setting. This is hardly something that happens by
accident, and it affects all Windows programs.

Besides, you can't get a black selection color that way in Word 2007,
because Word takes the color from the Appearance dialog and adds some
white to it. Using black for the Selected Items setting gives you a
gray selection in Word.
