Nice changes. Agree that the icons could be better differentiated. A trash can to delete the highlight is most clear, as the X is already use (an icon I think is unneeded as one can merely click away). Agree also with secondary popup bar with highlight colors; if one is merely highlighting, much more often used than notes I think, it is easier. The icon for highlight also agree could show the current highlight color.
Attached are screenshots of Apple Books when one taps on an existing highlight, then with color selection. Colors are also darker in dark mode. There is also a note icon in the margin to easily see that there's a note.
Concerning the colors, I think Apple Books has the best selection out of the apps I know. They are ordered by what one could call importance. The latter colors standout more as in the screenshots, easier to see if one uses various colors in the same paragraph, and wants certain passages marked as more important than others.
A single tap on an existing highlight to show the popup bar to change colors, modify, or add a note I think is quicker, and consistent with all other apps.
