I noticed today that the color that is currently used for selected m2m
items is indistinguishable. It might not be as noticeable to others, I'm
not sure, I have some color difficulties. Only dark theme seems to be
affected.

I am attaching 2 screenshots, how it looks on 5.1 and on 5.0.9

Comment:

Hello Giannis, thank you for your report!

I have tried to reproduce and these are my findings:
* in Chrome, both light and dark mode have good contrast for the selected
m2m, both when the m2m widget has focus and when it does not.
* in Firefox, when using the dark theme, there is good contrast for when
the m2m widget has focus but there is no color difference when the focus
is moved to another element.

I bisected the regressing revno to be
b47bdb4cd9149ee2a39bf1cc9996a36a940bd7d9

Would you like to prepare a patch?
