Thank you for reporting this enhancement request! I can confirm that this is a valid enhancement request on:
Version: 4.1.0.0.alpha0+Build ID: 6e3e6ef7257e93743a72719581ef6fe0016e58e

As I've been able to confirm the enhancement request I am marking as:

New (confirmed)
Enhancement
Highest - this seems like a very functional thing that is missing

@Koehler - very unlikely next release as it could be very difficult to implement & there are thousands of bug/enhancement reports - but I do think this would be functional

(This is an automated message.)

LibreOffice development currently prioritizes bugs with the so called MAB (most annoying bugs) -- as this bug has not run through that process (including writing a short rationale for this bug being a candidate and other who are watching the tracker bug silently approving that rationale etc.) its priority is set to high. Note this is effectively no change in the urgency assigned to this bug, as we are currently not making a difference between high and highest and severity is untouched.

You can find out more about MABs and how the process works by contacting libreoffice qa on irc:

The QA wiki page also gives you hints on how to get in contact with the team (if IRC fails you, your next best choice is the mailing list):

No. Bug 59506 is about font color, which is present, just hidden by default. This bug is about highlight color.

I can confirm this bug on LibO 4.3.2.2.
