How to change selected text color locally - flutter

Question

Text selection color can be changed by globally setting the theme:

    theme: ThemeData.light().copyWith(
        accentColor: kPrimaryAccent,
        primaryColor: kPrimaryColor,
        textSelectionColor: kTextSelectionColor,
        textSelectionHandleColor: kPrimaryAccent)

But how can this be done locally in a single text-field?

Answer 1

You can wrap your widget with a Theme and set the textSelectionColor for its ThemeData :

Container(
  child: Theme(
    data: ThemeData(
      textSelectionColor: Colors.yellow,
    ),
    child: SelectableText(
      'this is a text',
    ),
  ),
),

Answer 2

You have multiple choices to do so here is some example:

TextStyle

Text(
  "Test Text",
  style: TextStyle(
      color: Color(// Hex color)
    ),
)

Theme

Theme(
  data: Theme.of(context).copyWith(// new ThemeData here),
  child: Text("Test Text"),
)
