I came looking for the same thing and felt disappointed to see that nobody helped with something so simple. I have no experience with any sort of code by the way, so sorry if I edited anything I didn't need to.

For re:GAF Go to extensions -> Stylish Options -> neoGAF - re:GAF Edit

Find:
Code: 
.alt1, .alt1Active {
background: #E1E1DB !important;
}

.alt2, .alt2Active {
background: #d1d1c9  !important
}

Replace with:
Code: 
.alt1, .alt1Active {
background: #E1E1DB;
}

.alt2, .alt2Active {
background: #d1d1c9;
}

Find
Code: 
background: #dfded9 !important;

Replace with
Code: 
background: #dfded9;

Does everyone have a favorite color to use as the highlight, or one that looks the best, or does everyone use the default option?

I use 99ccff. I don't know if it looks the best, but I like it.

I figured it out. apparently the name you enter is case sensitive. I instead made it a lower case v and now my posts flag as green

This is what I use;

Stands out a lot more and it matches NeoGAF's color pallet. Could be a little bit brighter, but I didn't spend all too much time perfecting the shade, so I just styled on this and got used to it.

Welp, sorry, it looks like I actually had an old version. Not sure how that happened. Re-installing updated the thing to 1.1, and everything works now.

Go me.

Bumping this because of another thread asking about this feature. There are many newer members here that have not seen this fantastic extension.

Good idea. Is it still being developed? I wish I could add friends to a list and have their posts highlighted as well in a different color than mine. Or several lists, trusted posters, jokers, friends, mods...

Sort of. I've been meaning to update the Chrome extension for the longest time now but it always gets put on the back-burner for some reason or another (sorry to everyone who's PM'd me about it). I have made some updates to the userscript, though, just not uploaded yet. Here it is:

Code: 
// ==UserScript==
// @name           highlight_gaf
// @require        http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js
// @namespace      com.zombie.highlight
// @description    Highlights your posts on the NeoGAF
// @include        http://www.neogaf.com/forum/*
// @include        http://www.neogaf.net/forum/*
// @include        http://neogaf.com/forum/*
// @include        http://neogaf.net/forum/*
// ==/UserScript==

// COLOURS
var colour_default = "#9DB4C4";
var colour_friends = "#A7BF97";
var colour_mods    = "#C49D9D";

// USERS YOU DON'T CARE TO SEE
var block_list = [
    "UserIDontLike",
    "AnotherOne"
];

// USERS YOU WANT TO HIGHLIGHT
var users = {
    "MyUserName": colour_default,
    "Friend1": colour_friends,
    "Friend2": colour_friends,
    "Friend3": colour_friends,
    "Friend4": colour_friends,
    "Opiate": colour_mods,
    "Blackace": colour_mods,
    "Kagari": colour_mods,
    "EatChildren": colour_mods,
    "duckroll": colour_mods,
    "EviLore": colour_mods,
    "Stumpokapow": colour_mods,
    "bishoptl": colour_mods
};

// WHICH SECTIONS YOU WANT TO HIGHLIGHT
var highlight = {
    avatar: true,
    posts: true,
    threads: true,
    quotes: true
};


// MAIN
$(document).ready(function() {
    for(var x in block_list) {
        $(".bigusername:contains(" + block_list[x] + ")").closest("table").hide();
    }

    for(var i in users) {
        if(window.location.href.indexOf("forumdisplay") > -1 || window.location.href.indexOf("subscription") > -1) {
            if(highlight.threads) {
                $(".alt2:contains(" + i + ")").parent().children().css("background-color", users[i]);
            }
        } else {
            if(highlight.avatar && highlight.posts) {
                $(".bigusername:contains(" + i + ")").closest("tr").children().css("background-color", users[i]);
            } else if(highlight.avatar) {
                $(".bigusername:contains(" + i + ")").closest(".relative").css("background-color", users[i]);
            } else if(highlight.posts) {
                $(".bigusername:contains(" + i + ")").closest(".relative").next().css("background-color", users[i]);
            }

            if(highlight.quotes) {
                $(".smallfont:contains(" + i + ")").next().find(".quotearea").css("background-color", users[i]);
            }
        }
    }
});

Recent versions of Greasemonkey and/or jQuery (don't remember who was at fault) fixed the @require compatibility issues, so that cleaned up the code a little. The two biggest additions are multi-user support and a block list, which I think works better than the GAF way of blocking users. So now you can highlight posts and threads for any number of people and give each their own colour. I keep it simple and just highlight myself, some friends, and some mods.

But that gets rid of the sandy color. I've currently done something to make it work, but it only allows for one color.

It would be best if the script attached a class instead of just a background color.

So something like this.
Code: 
// instead of adding a CSS background style
BlahBlahBlah.css("background-color", users[i])

// add a class to the element
BlahBlahBlah.addClass(users[i]) // though in this case 'color_friends' would be a string, not a variable

// So that the element then gets something like
<td class="alt1 colour_friends">

// Create a style element and add the CSS rules
var css = '.color_friends { background-color: #ccc }'

$(body).append('<style type="text/css">' + css + '</style>');

Then I'd be able to add a class that overrides re:GAF's color rules.

Do you have any neogaf themes installed?

I have the NeoGAF Pro Dark and the extension doesn't work because of it.

By the way, is there any possible way to fix that?

Edit: I love this extension but I simply can't go back to white neogaf (please no racist jokes=( )

For the last two or three days, my script has been updating itself, so a few times it reset the code. I had to go back to edit the script and add my username to the text.

Man I had the perfect shade of blue to match GAF's blue accents, and something updated and it reset my variables and I lost my freaking color code.
