How to set the color of matching braces in VS 2015?

Question

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)

I just tried it with the RC release we shipped this week and also seeing the problem. Will follow up with the team and get this fixed. I'll post updates here. Thanks for sharing the problem!

Update: I confirmed with the team that this is a known issue and is on the list to get fixed.
