highlighted in red vs highlighted red

Both phrases are correct, but they're used in different contexts. "Highlighted in red" is used when specifying the color in which something is highlighted, while "highlighted red" is used when the color is implied or understood. The choice between the two phrases depends on if you need to explicitly mention the color or if it's already clear.
