Flutter: How do you set the text color for a ListTile that is 'selected'?

Question

I am working on a Flutter app where I am using a drawer. The drawer consists of various menu options using the ListTile class. The documentation specifies that when the 'selected' property of a ListTile is true then 'By default the selected color is the theme's primary color.' but it makes no mention of the text color. Whenever a ListTile is selected the corresponding text changes to blue, which goes against my theme. How do I set the text color for a selected ListTile?

Thanks.

You can apply theme to ListTile by wrapping it with ListTileTheme .

ListTileTheme(
        selectedColor: Colors.red, // text & icon color
        selectedTileColor: Colors.green, // background color
        child: ListTile(
          title: Text('cats')
        )
)
