Change the default highlight color

In the previous version of Acrobat, you used to be able to select a default color for highlighting. I use color-coded highlighting a lot and I can't find a way to change the default highlight color in Acrobat DC. It looks like the only choice I have is to change the highlight color of each highlight individually.  Where did the highlight color preference go?

How do I CHANGE THE COLOR of the highlighter? My last version would automatically show me 4 different colors to choose from when using that tool. However, now that I'm on Adobe Acrobat Pro 2024, it simply uses a dark highlight. I want yellow.
