Change the color used by "highlight on canvas" feature.

Currently when I right-click on a color or style in the assets panel and choose "highlight on canvas," all elements using that color or style will be outlined in blue. This is problematic when my design uses a similar blue, making it hard to see. I would like to be able to customize the highlight color to bright pink or some other color not used in my design so that it is very easy to see all highlighted elements at a glance.

Same feature was requested and described well on StackExchange here: https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/136145/can-i-change-the-color-used-by-highlight-on-canvas-feature

    I agree.
    I am also using blue color for my design and it make it really complicated to visualise the area highlighted.
    It would be so helpful to change the color of the highlight on canvas...

    This should be a preference that the user can control, like changing guide colors (used to be a feature in some adobe applications, not sure if it still is)

    One year later and the AdobeXd.UserVoice hasn't been heard ...

    I have the same ?.. and not only for changing the colour, but as long as they are highlighted I should be able to make changes.

    If all highlighted elements are fonts, allow me to change font, size, colour, etc

    Is this too deep in functionality or just a better product?
