Ever wanted your CSS ::selection background color to match your page background color? To achieve this, simply set your ::selection rgba background color alpha channel to .996 (.99609375 to be exact). I figured this out through trial and error with the Chrome inspector.

This method works for Webkit browsers. All other browsers seem to handle this effect just fine with the ::selection alpha channel set to 1.

See my code here:

.selection-example p {
    background: #ff3600;
}
.selection-example p:nth-child(2n) {
    background: #0cf;
}
.selection-example p::-moz-selection {
    background: rgba(0, 204, 255, 1);
}
.selection-example p::selection {
    background: rgba(0, 204, 255, 0.99609375);
}

Try it out. Highlight the following text:
