visual studio find and replace highlight color

Is there a way to change the highlight color when something is found with the find and replace in visual studio? Right now I have a white background and it highlights to light gray when it finds something which is not much help.

Absolutely! Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors -> Find Highlight (Extension)

Go to Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Fonts and colors and also change to color of 'Inactive Selected Text' which can be used for searching CSS or html. This fixed the issue for me. :)

In Visual Studio 2015, you can try

Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors -> Find Match Highlight

Try to look at Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors > Selected Text (should be something like that, my Visual Studio isn't in English...).

I am using Visual Studio 2017. When Quick Find or Quick Replace box is open,

all the matches of the text in the document are highlighted. The color of the selected match is a combination of the selected-text color and the highlighted-match color. I do not know how to change the former (which is annoying), but you can modify the latter( like in the answer by @J3soon), and thus indirectly modify the color of the selected match.

> Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors -> Find Match > Highlight

I installed Productivity Power Tools and then the missing Find Highlight (extension) font shows up.

I downloaded it, opened it, closed VS 2010, opened VS 2010, went to Tools-> Options...-> Environment-> Fonts and Colors-> Display items:-> Find Highlight (Extension) and the color was green for current find and yellow for all the other finds instead of that barley visible light light light light blue or grey (229R, 235G, 241B) for current find and nothing for other finds.

Another thing I did before I installed the PPT was did a find then esc out of the find box then used F3 and the color was a reasonable light blue.

Its "Find Scope Highlight" in VS 2012!
