Posting the whole CSS code would help. From the excerpt in the post edit history I see no issues with it (beside the code cleanliness), and trying it the selector was purple, not pink.

Anyway, in your screenshot, is that the hover status? The hover status after clicking on the bulk select icon, or after?

Which base theme and color palette are you using?

We needs more details.

On the default Discourse CSS, for the default selector icon, I don’t see any highlight.  
Default SVG color is `color: var(--d-button-transparent-icon-color);` and if you click on the icon, the color is then inherited from the icon’s container, which is `var(--d-button-primary-bg-color);`.
