You can also right-click on the region and choose Properties > Display.

Highlighted regions are filled with a color light enough that you can still see the text or math inside. To restore the background to its original state, just uncheck the "Highlight Region" box. By default, the background color for a highlighted region is yellow.

Change highlight color for all highlighted regions

This change affects all highlighted regions throughout your worksheet. To change the highlight color for selected regions only, select the region(s), then follow the steps above.

Printing a highlighted region

If you print a worksheet containing highlighted regions, the appearance of the highlights depends on the printer you are using. Some printers render a color as black, obscuring the equations or text; others render the same color as just the right shade of gray so the highlighted region is not obscured. The color should print in color on a color printer.
