Highlight Text in Pages

When I choose text to highlight in Pages, then click on the “Highlight” button on the pop up bar, I always get the same color. How can I change the highlight color?

Pages Color Text Dropdown Options Hello! My text color dropdown in Pages has very limited options. I don't have the standard ROYGBIV colors, instead, I have these bland blues, grays, and oranges. I don't know how to change the suggested options to standard colors I would actually use. I don't like having to click the color spin wheel just to choose red, for example. Does anyone know how to change this?

How to change default highlight color in pages using cmd-shift-H from ugly pink to normal yellow Using Pages 7.1 Title. Picrel shows two ways to "highlight" text. The top, yellow, is done going to text>style>gear/more>text background then selecting yellow. That's a lot of keystrokes when highlighting multiple portions of a text. The bottom, ugly pale pink, is the default color when selecting "highlight" from the "insert" menu bar; or using the cmd-shift-H keystrokes. I want the default "highlight" to be normal yellow like in the top selection. Thanks,
