The terminal emulator I use uses the strategy of swapping the background and foreground colors. This is decent most of the time, but it also has some undesirable corner cases: 1. You can't use selection as a hack to make text more legible. Some terminal emulator always use black on white for selection, which helps in this case. 2. If you select a region with the same background and foreground colors, then the selection itself is invisible.
