How do I change the colors under the Highlight icon

[nsbb]

The colours under the Highlight icon in Word 2003 are too dark and I would
like to tone them down or pick different colours, especially the blue.
Whenever I try to highlight a word, sentence using the blue it is very hard
to read what is written underneath the colour. Can these colours be changed
and if so, how?

No, the highlight colors cannot be changed.

(adds shading instead of highlight). See:
