When I highlight something in Mail, say like double clicking on a word, 
I get a nice and easily seen color. When I use Find to find something in 
the message, I get a washed out color that is hard to see. Obviously, 
the Mail highlight color is not set by System Preferences. I could not 
figure out what preference, if any, in Nail Preferences controls 
highlighting in Mail and how to use it.

I can imagine this is a good question though I have been unable 
to reproduce it here on SL and latest Mail. The actions of the 
preferences on Mail messages have never seemed to function really 
well in my experience. I have the problem that a few unselected 
messages are highlighted in various colours and seem immune to 
change (I want no highlight at all for them when they are 
unselected).
