    You are looking for the selection pseudo-element.

    ::-moz-selection{ background: #000; color:#fff;}
::selection { background:#000; color:#fff; }

    Also, as a side note. If you plan on using text-shadow in your site at all, I would recommend adding text-shadow:none; to your ::selection styling. As you can see in this fiddle, it is really hard on the eyes.
