Even when the text is black?

Mismatch tests are the least precise kind. But I suppose there is no chance to do better?

Yes, the text color for a native <select> without styling is blue, so we still retain the existing appearance on unstyled controls. If the text color is set to black, we want the decoration to match, since it appears right alongside the text. I've attached a screenshot to demonstrate the black text color case.

Unfortunately, no. The color of the decoration is not exposed to the web, and it's not possible to write a reference test, since there's only one way to modify the color. 

I did verify that the only difference between the mismatching test cases is the color of the decoration. However, I understand that doesn't really address the imprecision of mismatch tests as more changes are introduced in the future.
