Better highlight on hilighted search in visual mode?

highlighted statement (the 2nd one) in selecting block give it color that hard to see, as below image:

i just tried it by changing to different colors. it's very hard to find the good color for search highlight based on current theme.

why don't just keep color like the 1st one? you don't need to change it at all. i don't see the case for changing it.

when you're in visual mode and cursor is in highlighted text, text's foreground colors adopts the search highlight's foreground color. in this case, background is orange and foreground color is black. that's why you're seeing black color in your screenshot.

so, there's must be a highlighted_candidate_in_visual_mode to fix this. does nvim/vim expose this kind of highlight?
