 You can control it using gtkrc: the following piece of gtkrc sets bg of
items in gtkctree to blue:

style "myclist"
{
  bg[SELECTED] = { 0., 0., 1.0 }
}
class "GtkCList" style "myclist"

 (This will work since GtkCList is ancestor of GtkCTree).

  Seems it's possible to change that, but I don't know how (but it should also
be possible using gtkrc files since that color is different for different gtk
themes).
