Before all you probably want to run:
Settings → Configure Editor → Highlighting → Download
New versions available will be selected, just press „Install“.
Restart Quanta.
Maybe now its all OK?

If not. Syntax highlighting files are stored at
$KDEDIR/share/apps/katepart/syntax
for example it can be ~/.kde/share/apps/katepart/syntax

If you look inside of file css.xml you will see a line with comment
<!-- CSS3 -->
Start editing / adding your stuff there. For understanding what are you doing: 
http://kate-editor.org/2005/03/24/writing-a-syntax-highlighting-file/

css.xml file will be overwritten on next update you run, so its better to 
create your own file – naming it, for example, css3.xml. Just copy existing 
css.xml and put your stuff there. Set your own name in
<language name="CSS foobar"...
After restarting Quanta you'll see your properties listed in
Settings → Configure Editor → Fonts & Colors → Highlighting Text Styles
after choosing „Markup/CSS foobar“ drop-down . You can edit colors, etc.

I suppose the same would be with HTML5.
