There is also grep-find-command used by grep-find.

Since there is a lot of %s-substitutions in grep-compute-defaults
that produce command lines depending on many customizations,
yet another option is to let-bind the variables grep-command,
grep-find-command, grep-template, grep-find-template in your function,
then call grep-compute-defaults with a new value of grep-highlight-matches,
and then get new command lines without the --color option from
these local bindings to run them and parse the output programmatically.

In case when users customize grep-highlight-matches interactively,
its defcustom should compute new command lines using grep-compute-defaults.
