This is a bug and easily reproducible:
1. Install Ubuntu 10.04 server
2. Upgrade to 12.04 server (reboot is okay)
3. Upgrade to 14.04 server (reboot fails with grub error)
We've had this issue for all systems which was upgraded from 10.04. Here is a work around which worked for us:
1. Install Ubuntu 10.04 server
2. Upgrade to 12.04 server (reboot is okay)
3. Upgrade to 14.04 server (do not reboot ! )
4. grub-install /dev/sda (reboot is okay)

Title:
Ubuntu 14.04 Update breaks grub, resulting in "error: symbol
'grub_term_highlight_color' not found"
Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
The update from 13.10 to 14.04 via update-manager broke grub for me,
which resulted in the grub error:
"symbol 'grub_term_highlight_color' not found"
on startup.
To fix the problem I had to boot to my persisting Ubuntu installation
(e.g. using Super Grub Disk) and had to reinstall grub on my boot
partition: "sudo grub-install --recheck /dev/sdx"
