It's nonsensical of Emacs to use the Gtk theme for just one colour here.
It should either use the Gtk theme for the background/foreground
colours, too, or not use it at all.

Emacs composes the colours we use here, and we choose colours that have
the mixture we want. Our current approach leads to two bugs: With a
dark theme, we get a nonsensically dramatic region face, and with a
light theme, we get a region face that has too low contrast. That's an
Emacs bug, and not something the user should have to deal with.
