MATLAB syntax highlighting color settings for light theme

You can customize the colors for syntax highlighting for the light theme using the matlab.colors settings. Access matlab.colors settings using the root SettingsGroup object returned by the settings function. For example, set the temporary value for the color of comments to [173 235 255] (light blue).

s = settings;
s.matlab.colors.CommentColor.TemporaryValue = [173 235 255]

For more information about settings, see Access and Modify Settings Programmatically.

Note

These settings only apply for the light theme. To customize the colors for syntax highlighting for the dark theme, use the Settings window. For more information, see Change Desktop Theme and Colors.
