Q: Is there a way to change the color in which Guiguts highlights quotes/singlequotes or arbitrary characters I specify? it's not distinct enough for me -- a very light grey.

A: Open guiguts.pl (or whichever version you are using) in a plain text editor. Scroll down to around line 16000 and look for the section labeled textbindings.

This is the line you want to change:

$textwindow->tagConfigure( 'quotemark', -background => '#CCCCFF' );

Change the #CCCCFF to either a named color or its hexidecimal equivalent. (For example #ff0000 will change the highlight to red.) This will change all three: the Search -> highlight single quotes in selection, the highlight double quotes in selection and highlight arbitrary characters in selection to red.
