I had to change my-hilite to ./my-hilite as I ran both files from my current directory:

My terminal is the default Apple Macbook Pro OSX 10.14.3, a derivative of xterm IIRC.

I called the first file 'Colour_test.sh' and the second 'my-hilite' see attached image.
The code works perfectly.

EDIT:
It's late here.
Goodnight all...
