I'm really new to designing, and im trying to replicate illustrator's text highlight, to my original image.
Here is the effect that im trying to replicate:

We can see that the 'you' is highlighted, i did this, just by selecting the text in illustrator.

I know you can't highlight text in illustrator, but we can use a rectangle instead.
Here is what i tried:


Make a rectangle the same size as the one in the picture and place one layer below the text.
Change rectangle color to 'E3DFDF'
Change opacity to 80%


This is what i got:


I couldn't replicate the same effect, and would like some info on how to produce the same effect.

I'm using illustrator CC.
