Little confused by Stephane's comments.  From what I've read, the text-field is swapped out with the field editor by the window containing the text-field.  This happens when the text-field becomes the first-responder.  So the actual control involved is an NSTextView instanced not an NSTextField instance.  The trick seems to be to get the right instance of NSTextView and set its attributes in order to get desired the selected text colors.
