I've just jumped from Emacs 24.4 and earlier on 32-bit Ubuntu 16.04.3
to Debianised Emacs 26.3 on obligatorily 64-bit Ubuntu 20.04.2.
One of the things that broke is the highlighting of the 'region'. My
default background colour is white, and region used to be given a
yellowish background. It is now given a white background, as I have
found by making my default background LightGray, so I do have a
workaround.
However, how do I change the background colour used for highlighting
the 'region'? (Transient mark mode is already enabled.) I deliberately
chose to have a white background for normal text, and I'd like to
retain it.
Richard.

It might be that the newer version of Emacs inherits your GTK
theme. What happens when you evaluate
(set-face-background 'region "LightGoldenrod1")
or otherwise customize the "region" face?

Thank you. That solves the problem.

That's not an upstream change, AFAIU, it's probably something your
distro does, or maybe (if this is a GTK build), the GTK theme has
changed.
