Here is an excerpt from my .emacs, actually stolen from Fabrice Nielson
(http://www.mygooglest.com/fni/), that might give some hints how to do
interactive color highlighting without any changes to Org-mode:

,------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| ;; *** 14.13 (info "(emacs)Highlight Interactively")
| 
| ;; You can use `hi-lock-mode' to highlight words:
| ;;     `M-x hi-lock-mode RET'
| ;;     `C-x w h <match> RET hi-blue RET'
| ;; You can also write your settings to the buffer you're using with
| ;; `C-x w b', and read them back in again next time with `C-x w i'.
| 
| ;; TODO Have a look at http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/color-moccur.el for
| ;; searching regexp in buffer
