You would need macros to do this via buttons since they aren't built-in. You can do a series of macros to toggle the colours. There is a finite number of highlight colours but if you know the available constant names for the colours then you just build another macro for each one.

Code:

Sub HL1()
  SetHiLite wdYellow
End Sub

Sub HL2()
  SetHiLite wdBrightGreen
End Sub

Function SetHiLite(iCol As Long)
  If Selection.Range.HighlightColorIndex = iCol Then
    Selection.Range.HighlightColorIndex = wdNoHighlight
  Else
    Selection.Range.HighlightColorIndex = iCol
  End If
End Function
