Ok Prakash,

Do the following:

1) Press ctrl+M ( To open Edit Module Window).

2). Then Paste Below Code

Sub SetColorPrefs()

Dim UserPrefs

set UserPrefs = _

ActiveDocument.GetApplication.GetUserPreferences

' Set the "Selected" Color

UserPrefs.CustomSelBgColor(1).PrimaryCol.Col = _

RGB (0,0,255) ' Blue

UserPrefs.CustomSelFgColor(1).PrimaryCol.Col = _

RGB (255,255,0) ' Yellow

' Set the "Possible" Color

UserPrefs.CustomSelBgColor(2).PrimaryCol.Col = _

RGB (255,255,0) ' Yellow

UserPrefs.CustomSelFgColor(2).PrimaryCol.Col = _

RGB (0,0,0) ' Black

' Set the Excluded Color

UserPrefs.CustomSelBgColor(5).PrimaryCol.Col = _

RGB (200,200,200) ' Light gray

UserPrefs.CustomSelFgColor(5).PrimaryCol.Col = _

RGB (0,0,0) ' Black

' Set the Locked Color

UserPrefs.CustomSelBgColor(0).PrimaryCol.Col = _

RGB (255,0,0) ' Red

UserPrefs.CustomSelFgColor(0).PrimaryCol.Col = _

RGB (0,0,0) ' Black

ActiveDocument.GetApplication.SetUserPreferences _

UserPrefs

end sub

4) Click on Check Button to Check the code if it is showing '***Ready*****' then click on click on test button to execute the code.

Now again go to document properties and do the same which I tell you earlier. If Still facing problem let me know.

There is not Much Option to change Selection Color but you can do this in

Go To Document Property->-General>Selection Apperantice,

Try Style and Color Scheme,

There is a way to manipulate the colours using a QAR, google for "qlikfix any colour, as long as it's green"
