Here's the demo project of Texture issue #2016: Cell selection not visible after setting ASCellNode backgroundColor on iOS 13 or later.

When setting backgroundColor of ASCellNode, Texture has been setting backgroundColor on both _ASDisplayView (added on top of contentView) and underlying _ASTableViewCell.

This bug happens on iOS 13 or later, which may result from UIKit behavior change.

Prior to iOS 13, UIKit would make _ASDisplayView transparent when cell is selected. This behavior no longer works on iOS 13 or later, which results in opaque _ASDisplayView blocking selection color below (UITableViewCellSelectedBackground).

I would suggest solutions that make Texture behave similar to UIKit:
