Is that because you do not know how or because MobileSheets is playing up?
Click on the highlighter once to select it. Click on it a second time to enter the options for the highlighter. Click on colour to see the palette of colours you can choose from.
If you cannot select a different colour, could you walk us through your steps so that Mike can identify where you are having a problem?

Be aware that MobileSheets could switch to Stylus Mode when using a pen so that only the pen can be used to select things, not touch. I think there is an option to change this behavior. In any case, try using the pen to select the new color.

I know how to do it so I think MobileSheets is playing up. I am using Dark Mode though.

Please reboot your device, then go through the steps Lester listed. You should be able to change the color through the highlighter settings popup by tapping on the color square, and then selecting the color you want from the dialog that is shown.

Is it because I'm using Night Mode?

That will flip the color, but it wouldn't stop you from changing the color.

Then I will have to investigate that to see if I can reproduce any issues.
