A new method is added for this purpose which takes in `selectionBackground` color, does the hue, saturation and brightness manipulation and returns a new focus ring color. There are edge cases where the HSB transformation does not yield the right focus ring color, for these cases a default color is returned that is different and can be seen against the `selectionBackground`.

>> PS: The native L&F (Mac OS) and Swing L&F for JTable cell tabbing differs (on native tables the cell background turns white on focus with a cell focus ring). Since the background for Swing tables can be set by users and also overridden by subclassing `DefaultTableCellRenderer`, and to adhere to current implementation of Swing, the cell background changes are not incorporated. Only the Focus Ring/ Cell Highlighter is made more prominent against the selection background.
