Colorspec takes the form <fg_color>[,<bg_color>], they can be named using the
following command.

:colalias <name> <colspec>

note that colspec can itself be a color alias.
Using color alias instead of colorspec permits to change the effective colors
afterward.

* +PrimarySelection+: main selection color for every selected character except
the last one
* +SecondarySelection+: secondary selection color for every selected character
except the last one
* +PrimaryCursor+: last character of the primary selection
* +SecondaryCursor+: last character of the secondary selection
