Reluctant to file a "bug" report, or "feature request", as it isn't really either; but more of a "how to" request?

I'm currently using Lubuntu 16.04 with PCManFM 1.2.4. Helping a friend remix Manjaro LXDE and he noticed that desktop icons are highlighted with a medium/dark blue highlight when clicked. He'd like to change the highlight color to a greenish hue, more inline with Manjaro design elements. Since he pointed it out, I've noticed my Lubuntu behaves in the same way.

I would assume that desktop icons are managed by PCManFM, but cannot find any settings to suggest how to modify this. I have experimented with different Widget/color and icon themes in lxappearance, looked at tint settings in lxpanel config, looked at gtk-2.0 config files, and have looked at pcmanfm config files in home folder.

There doesn't seem to be any indications of how to change the selected icon highlight color in LXDE/PCManFM. Is there a way to modify this to one's liking, or is it hard-coded into PCManFM or LXDE? If it can be modified, please advise how. If it cannot, please consider this a feature request.

Please advise, and THANK YOU!

    If it helps, the MtPaint color selector indicates the highlight color is #4B6983.
