I wish to have a more emphasis on the brackets match, so I set it to yellow and bold in the options. However, when I place my cursor next to a curly brace (also parenthesis, brackets etc.) it still only flags with washed-out gray...

How do I set the color to my liking?

The setting I've made was: 

Tools → Options → Environment → Font and Colors  

- Brace Matching (Highlight)  

- Brace Matching (Rectangle)
