How can I edit the markdown font colors in Eclipse Luna?

For dark color schemes in eclipse, the default markdown colors are hard to read. This makes it difficult to edit README.md files, for example.

It took me a while to find the right setting to change font color and thought I would share the answer.

In Eclipse, open:

Window > Preferences > General > Editors > Text Editors > WikiText

Select "WikiText", not any of the subfolders.

From here, there are inputs where you can change the color style. For example:

color: #ccc;

You must close and restart Eclipse for the settings to take effect.

There appears to be a bug in WikiText > Appearance, as changes made there did not take effect for me.
