can't figure out how to change the color of the highlighted text when you paste something into terminal.

you don't give any details,like what terminal? i will assume Konsole?
you can try going to Konsole's settings - edit current profile - appearance - edit colors tabs - change selection background
not sure if that is what you going for?
