Word 2007 - word or phrase selection highlight colour

[Avery Tom Deacon Harry]

In Word 2007, one selects the characters in a document on which one wants to
perform a certain operation by click, hold and move the mouse.
This highlights the reuired text in a dirty mauve/blue colour.
Now, is there any way to change that highlight colour?
