Part outline highlight colour in assy

When selecting a part from the parts list in an assembly a yellow outline is shown around the part.  This is great unless the bulk of the parts are already yellow.  Could the command first evaluate the colour of the part requested and then chose a contrasting colour for the outline?

    @owen_sparks Interactions with Onshape need to be somewhat uniform for consistency reasons.  Having the highlight color be different can be confusing, especially if we decide to have different highlighting to indicate some other behavior.  Color in general is difficult also due to some color blind challenges as well.  We are always working on avoiding cases where the highlight is clear and we could do more muting of the part color when highlighted.  Thanks for the feedback.

    Fair points. :)  Perhaps the part could expand or become bold somehow for a second or so, and then fade back to normal?
