How can you change text color settings in Visual Studio 2019 to match the style of VS2017?

I am not talking about theme. What I mean is the following:

Side by side Left: VS2017, Right: VS2019.

I tried to export VS2017 settings and import them into 2019 but it appears that options available in 2019 aren't present in 2017 that change the palette around.

I am looking to be able to assist not only me, but the rest of my team in changing these settings to mimic VS2017 as easily as possible.

Aside from finding and manually changing each these of these settings individually is there a better way to more or less all at once revert the text color scheme back to the way it was in VS2017?

I don't have 2019 to see what the differences are, but the approach I'd take is to have one person go through the process of customizing the colors to 2017 ones, then export the settings to a file that your peers can then import (in 2017 this is under Tools > Import and Export Settings).

I'm curious why you want to see a specific color theme across the team.
