Rizin[1][2] has the byte-level highlight (enter visual mode with `V` key then rotate through modes using `p` or `P`)[3], and there is an issue[4] for Cutter to add binary visualization as a plugin, if anyone is up to the task.
Christopher Domas gave a nice presentation[0] at DerbyCon 2012 about software that ended up becoming CantorDust[1]. I was pretty jazzed about after the presentation but didn't keep up with where it went.
You might be interested in GNU poke[1][2], a hex-editor type program that can actually parse and visualize the structure of binary data (using a DSL for describing formats).

And binwalk if you want to find the juice within the file.

I always liked the 3D visualization in Veles[0]. It's very intuitive to make out structured ASCII or other non-compressed sections in binary data.

I've been using ImHex[0] for this purpose, to pretty good effect.

I have really liked fq for binary visualization.
