Notes

Because highlight color of bracket matches seems to be a taste that differs broadly from person-to-person, built-in support was not added for it.

If you'd prefer your bracket matches highlighted with a noticable color, add the following to your User Settings (adjusting the colors to your own taste):

{
    "workbench.colorCustomizations": {
        "editorBracketMatch.background": "#ff79c680",
        "editorBracketMatch.border": "#ff00ff"
    }
}

Chore

Notes

The goal of the next several upcoming updates is to improve the uniformity of semantic highlighting between languages. I find it personally disorienting when using one language that has cyan as the color for types and then switch to another where it is green. The experience should be seamless across all languages.

I've opened an issue on github for this process. Your feedback is welcomed and encouraged!
