You have to do following changes in current code.

1). In style ListBoxItemStyle2, find <ContentPresenter .../> add Tag="{TemplateBinding IsSelected}" in <ContentPresenter .../>

2). Remove static Foreground="#a7a7a7" property value from ListBox's DataTemplateand add this

Foreground="{Binding Tag, Converter={StaticResource BooleanToColourConverter}, Mode=TwoWay, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Mode=TemplatedParent}}"

3). You need to use converter to set the foreground based on IsSelected property. If item is selected it will show green color otherwise red.

public sealed class BooleanToColourConverter : IValueConverter
{
    public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, string language)
    {
        return (value is bool && (bool)value) ? new SolidColorBrush(Windows.UI.Colors.Green) : new SolidColorBrush(Windows.UI.Colors.Red);
    }

    public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, string language)
    {
        return value is SolidColorBrush && ((SolidColorBrush)value).Color == Windows.UI.Colors.Green;
    }
}

4). Add <local:BooleanToColourConverter x:Key="BooleanToColourConverter"/> in <Page.Resources>.
