You have to set the selectStyle property of 
OpenLayers.Control.SelectFeature. Currently, the selectStyle is a 
separate style and does not extend the feature style. So your 
requirement can only be fulfilled if you have the same fill-color for 
all features of your layer.

See http://trac.openlayers.org/ticket/1260 for a patch if you want to 
have your feature style extended by the selectStyle.

Regards,
Andreas.
