Unable to Change the "Select-Drag" Color for certain features

Recently I've been tasked with developing a new Titleblock for my company, and I seem to have hit a snag. To be brief, part of this development was to switch to an all-black background theme (On the drawings side), so that the layers will match our autocad standard,. A good chunk of these layers don't look good on anything other then black, and changing them was out of the question. (Company standards, 20+ years, etc. etc.)

This meant one of the key end goals was to get the inventor side to line up with the Autocad side. After getting all the layer settings laid in, and mapping the true-color values it seemed that completion was in reach.
The issue I'm having arose during a trial run, in which a coworker that was testing it pointed out something I'm sorta at a loss on how to fix.

The "Selection-Drag" of dimensions specifically in sketch mode, as well as various other elements; such as the "Attach Balloon from List" preview, and whenever you would "Drag Text" would become invisible due to the all black background. Additionally, the "Draw Revision Cloud" would basically be invisible until after you closed the cloud.
I used the Color Scheme Editor early on in development and upon revisiting, I found no option that would change these colors. I'm aware you can change the pre-placement color of sketch lines, dims, etc. but after going through the entire list, I couldn't find anything that would change the colors of these specific functions.


I've attached a series of images to hopefully help better illustrate exactly the problem I'm dealing with. Thus far, I haven't found anything on the forums addressing this particular issue, so if anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears.

Also, the company is currently running Inventor 2018.

I have also changed my color scheme to match what I've used in AutoCAD since 1992; I love the black background as it greatly reduces eye strain not having to stare at a big bright, flickering screen (yes, the 60Hz refresh rate is an irritant.)  Unfortunate that no one has addressed this; I was hoping there was a resolution.
