I had the same problem two weeks ago. The best way seems to be:

M-x customize-variable --> font-latex-user-keyword-classes

It's a little tricky in case you have never used the customize
function. You create new entries and values by placing the cursor on
INS and hitting enter. Below is a copy how it should look like, given
your command is called "mycommand". The "Name" can be
anything. "Keywords" is the name of your command without
backslash. "Number of arguments" should be 3 in your case. In the face
attributes you define how Emacs displays the command and the text
within the three arguments. In the example I used only colors: black
for the font, a pale yellow (khaki) for the background (if you are
under GNU/Linux the shell-command showrgb gives you a list of the
available colors). It's important that you hit the button "State"
after you have finished. Hit "1" (save for future sessions) to insert
the new hilighting function to your .emacs.
