It works to highlight with the default colours. Unsure the colour changes work on a custom theme, though.

I will make the change in the theme myself easily enough but just wanted to let you know that using the built-in colour picker doesn't change the colours on my custom theme.

What theme is that? Is it possible to view it in operation?

Huh, that's weird. It is half-working now -- the background has changed but the border has not. When I first tested changing the colours earlier it didn't work at all.

Example: http://revolutions.chroniclesofthedas.com/index.php?/topic/4782-rogue-one-a-star-wars-story/#comment-93739

Maybe I need to refresh the site's data? Is there even anything like that that could have an effect on this?

Try to rule out a css issue first. If you view the source code of the topic and view the css link near the top. Can you see any reference to something like this or the highlight.css file?

:target + .cPost  {
    background: {setting="highlightLinkedPosts_colour"} !important;
    border-color: {setting="highlightLinkedPosts_border"} {setting="highlightLinkedPosts_border"} {setting="highlightLinkedPosts_border"} {setting="highlightLinkedPosts_border"};
}

:target + .cPost aside {
    background: {setting="highlightLinkedPosts_colour"} !important;
}

That's in there, yep -- I got that via Inspect rather than View page source. The border-color has a line through it. Got that from here: http://revolutions.chroniclesofthedas.com/index.php?/topic/4782-rogue-one-a-star-wars-story/#comment-81806

 

Also, it's ehren's Dispersion theme with a bunch of custom css.

It it possible to get either a copy of the theme or acp access to the theme editor. I'm not noticing any issues in IPB but I'll need to see if the theme is using different css in the topic view.
