How to change the braces/parenthesis colors in Visual Studio

Visual Studio 2017 still has a problem to have black color as Default color in editor. Generally it's not, but it appeared to black by some reasons.

I changed below two items to Silver and press OK, and open Option again and back to Default it solved.

• Tools > Options > Fonts and Colors > Display Items : Punctuation
• Tools > Options > Fonts and Colors > Display Items : Operator

The Visual Studio 2014 CTP 14.0.22129 dark theme blacked-out the brackets and semi-colon for some reason. I was able to fix this by changing the foreground color of the "Punctuation" display item.

Tools > Options > Fonts and Colors > Display Items : Punctuation

I know this is an old already answered question but I found a solution that suited me at least.

Set the "Plain Text" colour to be the colour you want the braces to be then set the "Identifier" colour to be what you want the rest of the text to look like.
