Set background colour of HVScrollView item on click - xamarin.forms

Question

I have implemented the HVScrollView custom renderer in Xamarin.Forms as below and am trying to set the background colour of the item selected on tapped/clicked but can't figure out how to do that.
I can't figure out whether I need to add something to the custom renderer to make it show the selected item or whether it should be set in my markup.
Please help
