I am unable to see create visible Highlight Colours in MACOS 10.15.7. They simply do not show in any docs ... esp. Office 365 MSWord docs. How do I change the level/depth/tone etc. of the colour?
iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15
System Preferences> General.
Highlight Colour, click on the menu and select Other, you can now use the Colour Wheel
to set your own preferred highlight colour.
Use the slider at the bottom and move to the left so the highlight colour will
be brighter, and move the toggle in the colour wheel to the preferred colour.

After moving the slider to the left to get a brighter colour did you then move the crosshair/ toggle in the centre of the colour wheel from the centre to a colour of your choosing.
Look closely at the screenshot below.
Or perhaps Office 365 has its own preferences for setting highlight colours, have you looked into that.
I spent some time yesterday evening resetting all prefs in Office 365, then my email app. I shut down iMac, rebooted, and reset the System Prefs again. I have now ended up with a more workable colour range, and have been able to set a favourite highlight tone which is in the Olive Green range. Although the general highlight colours are still very light, they now work well on the desktop and in all apps with the exception of MSWord in Office 365. However, at least I can now see it, so that is useful. Thank you for your time.

Add a highlight effect to text in Pages on Mac - Apple Support
Thank you for your reply, Eau Rouge. Unfortunately that does not work. I have even moved the colour to 'black' to see if it works, and it is still pale grey in the System Preference Highlight Colour Box; but does not show at all in Office365 docs.
