Turn off Visual Studio Highlight Color

Question

I"m having an issue with Visual Studio. I am working in CSS and HTML, but the program does all this highlighting.

Here's an example of what I'm talking about.

I just want to turn off that highlighting in the common words, brackets, and syntax bracket highlight.

I can't find it anywhere in the Tools -> Options section.

Answer 1

Tools → Options → Environment → Fonts and Colors 

→ Brace Matching (Rectangle)
→ CSS Keyword, etc.
→ Find Match (Highlight)
→ Highlighted Reference

To turn off syntax highlighting completely, you can assign another editor, like Script Editor to the css extension (this will also disable all CSS recognition):

Tools → Options → Text Editor → File Extension
