If you're going for a highlighter effect, try a little CSS...
 
.highlight {
  background-color: #ffff00;
  color: #000000;
}
 
<span class="highlight">This is highlighted text.</span>

Sorry about that. To me, a pure colour is one that does not contain
any other colour. So a pure yellow is just that, nothing but yellow
yellow - #ffff00
green - #00ff00
pink - #ff00ff
red - #ff0000 (although not very flourescent)

and so.

If you are looking for colours, then I highly suggest visiting this
web application:

It is one of the best that I have seen for picking colours for web designs.
