Try something like the following (I personally use the first of the
three and I believe Apple recommends it as well)...

- (void)setHighlightColor:(NSColor*)color
{
    if (color != highlightColor) {
        [highlightColor release];
        highlightColor = [color retain]; //or copy if what you get
could possibly be mutable
    }
}

...or...

- (void)setHighlightColor:(NSColor*)color
{
    [highlightColor autorelease];
    highlightColor = [color retain]; //or copy if what you get could
possibly be mutable
}

...or...

- (void)setHighlightColor:(NSColor*)color
{
    NSColor* original = highlightColor;
    highlightColor = [color retain]; //or copy if what you get could
possibly be mutable
    [original release];
}
