Where is the color setting for the Active Symbol Highlighting Feature in Visual Studio 2013

Anytime my cursor is on a symbol or keyword VS2013 (or some plugin i have) highlights all matches of those instances:

I don't mind the highlighting; however, this exact color is annoying with the sons-of-obsidian theme (or any dark background).

I would love to know which setting under Tools->Options->Fonts and Colors controls this so that i can fix it... (As far as I can tell, none of the options adjust it, which makes me think it could be one of the plugins i have...

Plugins: Resharper 8.2 (does adjust colors, but none of the settings I've changed worked) Nuget Package Manager (shouldn't adjust colors) MVC 5 Scaffolding (shouldn't adjust colors) Nancy.Templates (shouldn't adjust colors) Puppet Plugin (shouldn't adjust colors) Visual F# (shouldn't adjust colors)

This is built in functionality provided by Visual Studio. To turn it off click on Tools > Options > Text Editor > C# > Advanced and turn off Highlight references to symbol under cursor enter image description here

If you only want to change the colors you can do this by Tools > Options > Environment > Fonts and Colors and in the Display Items list search for Highlighted Reference. enter image description here
