Juri, no one else seems to care, so please pick whatever color you like.

FWIW - The color you prefer, #FF8888, seems to be a more saturated version
of RosyBrown1. Attached are comparisons of RosyBrown1 (on top) with your
preference (on the bottom), and of your preference (on top) with Plum (on
the bottom).

You apparently want this highlighting to stand out more than I intended it
to. I think a lighter color, such as RosyBrown1, is better as the default on
a white background, but, again, pick whatever color you want.
