I use Dracula theme on all my apps. I just started using emacs and I
installed the dracula theme.

For some reason, the text highlighting is a blinding yellow and I
cannot seem to change it

I tried    \`(set-face-attribute 'region nil :background "#666"
:foreground "#ffffff")\`

but it didnt seem to work either

You have to customize the face "match".

Try:

M-X customize-face <RET>

match <RET>

\[Edit\]

I use dracula theme and there are several choices I don't like and
customized this way: font-lock-comment-face, font-lock-doc-face, show-
paren-match and match

Do you mind showing me an example. Apologies, emacs config is very new
to me.

Just do:

Alt-x

Type customize-face

Hit Enter/Return

Type match

Hit Enter/Return

It will open a window where you can choose your colors for match. When
you're done, Click on the \[State\] button and save your settings.  In
the window for customizing the face, look at the top iine, there is a
link to get help on what's called "Easy Customization".
