Try this:
Create a file with the package atoms you want to highlight, one per
line, say packages.txt. Then run this command, you'll need to rerun it
each time you edit the packages list
awk '{print "s:\\("$0"\\):\\x1b[1;31m\\1:"}' packages.txt
>|packages.script
Then run
emerge --options @world -p --color y | sed -f packages.script
It highlights any of the packages in your file in bright red. See
https://gist.github.com/fnky/458719343aabd01cfb17a3a4f7296797 for a list
of colour options.

If you give a man a fish, he's fed for a day.
If you teach a man to fish, he'll buy a silly hat.
If you talk about fish to a starving man, you're a consultant.
