Highlight color for text doesn't match the color palette

[josephahaden]

When selecting copy with a post (whether a written post or the podcast), the highlight color is red. I don't know if that was an intentional choice, but it's probably worth a designer's eye to confirm.

This was done intentionally - I thought I remembered this from the design, but after a quick scan of the figma I can't find it. The red is one of the site colors though, you can see it on the security page.

cc @beafialho if you have anything to add.

Thank you for flagging this @josephahaden!

My memory has faded as I also thought we had discussed this, even though I don't remember mocking this up on Figma...

My first option for highlighted text in posts would be the light blue:

But that would probably need to be updated everywhere since in other areas there seems to be a red highlight color as well:

Red passes AA contrast checks but blue passes AAA. @ryelle would I need to mock that up for every bg color or is that something we can update quite easily?
