1 year ago If you do not like the default colors, you can specify your own: https://facelessuser.github.io/BracketHighlighter/customize/#configuring-highlight-style. The documentation goes into detail showing how you can modify the colors that are used.
It seems non-trivial to implement this feature. The ColorHighlight plugin managed to achieve a similar effect by, I think, creating and dynamically updating a color scheme that dynamically associates regions with colors... but I'm not familiar enough with the plugin API to be sure.
I am generally against plugins that dynamically update someone's color scheme in this manner. There are very few exceptions where I may find this acceptable. For this reason, I purposely do not use ColorHighlight and instead maintain my own color plugin called ColorHelper that uses an approach that I find more acceptable.
I realize others may have differing opinions, and I won't go into all the details as to why I feel this way, but my personal opinion is that a plugin should not take it upon itself to modify/override a user's color scheme. With that said, if a user wishes to manually create overrides, BracketHighlighter will let you change the settings to use whatever special scope you've created.

I like the idea of the solid highlight option, but the colors it uses are distractingly "loud" and sometimes clash with the syntax highlighter. These problems could be avoided if it were possible to turn down the "value" and/or "saturation" of the highlight color.
