The highlight tool in Mountain Lion's Preview allows one to select among a small number of colors. Is there a way to customize the colors (add to or change)?

The only solution mentioned in Can Mountain Lion's Preview.app be configured to use Lion's highlighting colours? is to copy an old version of Preview to 10.8. – Lauri Ranta Sep 12 '12 at 15:17
Thanks for the hint! ML Preview introduced some nice changes though which would be a shame to lose... – christianmbrodbeck Sep 12 '12 at 19:59

When you click the colour drop down on the annotations toolbar, you should see an Other option, that will allow you to pick arbitrary colours.

Thanks for the answer, but unfortunately that only works in Lion, not in Mountain Lion... – christianmbrodbeck Sep 12 '12 at 2:18
Ah sorry. I don't have a 10.8 machine handy to double check that, so I just took a stab at it. – robmathers Sep 12 '12 at 2:33
