You can't. The best is you can do is use shading. I have an AddIn that you
might find useful:

Thanks, Greg. I'm in charge of roughly 18 templates for my company and added
the orange shading to a style used for inline instructions. Trouble is, the
other 200+ users are not as adept at 1. clearing the formatting; 2. modifying
the style; yada ...

I was hoping there was some code to create custom highlight RGB colors ...
the 15 choices are ... limiting. I do appreciate the definitive answer,
though, Greg... and am hoping Microsoft is reading this. Nothing on you, but
you'd think they would have created an option to create here.

I appreciate the feedback, though.
