highlightedtextcolor, not highlightcoolr, but yeah, that's the idea that is actually wanted, it doesn't have necessarly to maintain all its semantic informations, just a basic contrast with the background.
(with vdg we wanted to experiment to make used areas of highlightcolr with the same color as well)
