Yes, I noted that you'd prefer to use highlight instead of match, 
presumably for a certain logical consistency.  If highlight had been 
yellow, that's what I would have done.  For this specific case I believe 
yellow is the most appropriate color.  If inheriting from highlight is not 
okay, I'd hardcode the yellow color.
