After running around in the Preferences dialog, the following is the location at which the highlight color for "occurrences" can be changed:

General -> Editors -> Text Editors -> Annotations

Look for Occurences from the Annotation types list.

Then, be sure that Text as highlighted is selected, then choose the desired color.

And, a picture is worth a thousand words...
