Although I am not a native speaker, I feel that they should be better
called "normal_color" and "highlight_color".

No such word, AFAIK. You know, it is ugly, because you want to put two
separate things into one place. ;)
Just look at CSS...
div {
color: black;
background-color: white;
}
So, if you don't hesitate to create so many variables, you can simply
create "normal_color", "normal_background_color", "highlight_color"
and "highlight_background_color", although I don't know who would like it.
