How to turn off or change the color of the parentheses highlights

I am using a dark theme in SSMS. SQL Complete is automatically highlighting the matching parentheses with a light color. My text is white and therefore there's not enough contrast and it's hard to see the parentheses.
Is there a way to turn off the highlighting or change the color of the highlights?

This is governed by SSMS itself. You can setup it as follows:

1. Select 'Tools -> Options...' from the main menu of SSMS. The 'Options' window opens.
2. Navigate to the 'Environment -> Fonts and Colors' section.
3. Select the 'Brace Matching (Rectangle)' item and redefine the 'Item background' property for it.
