I sometime get following error message:

Cannot convert the value in attribute 'Color' to object of type 'System.Windows.Media.Color'. '#FF000000' is not a valid value for property 'Color'. Error at object 'HighlightTextBrush' in markup file

The WPF code for HighlightTextBrush is:

<SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.HighlightTextBrushKey}" Color="{StaticResource {x:Static SystemColors.ControlTextBrushKey}}" />

You are trying to assign a Brush to the Color property. You need to use:

<SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.HighlightTextBrushKey}" Color="{StaticResource {x:Static SystemColors.ControlTextColorKey}}" />

I had a problem using CodeNaked's answer where it returned the same error. I used this instead:

<SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.HighlightTextBrushKey}" Color="{Binding Source={x:Static SystemColors.ControlTextColorKey},Path=Color}" />
