Description
Describe the bug
While setting the Easymotion Dim Color affects the text color for an Easymotion Incremental Search, it does not affect the text color when jumping to a word or otherwise selecting which match to jump to. It seems that this setting should apply to both situations.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Turn on Easymotion and Easymotion Dim Background.
- Set an obvious, custom Easymotion Dim Color, such as #00ff00.
- Press
<leader><leader>/to begin an incremental search and observe that the text turns green. - Type to search for some text in the buffer and press enter. Observe that the text background color returns to the default #777777.
Expected behavior
Easymotion Dim Color affects jump location selection.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in VSCodeVim 1.22.2 using Easymotion Dim Background, a custom Easymotion Dim Color, incremental search, and direct word selection. Trace the color handling for both selection paths; done when the custom color is preserved during jump-location selection as well as incremental search.
