Visual Studio 2013 - User types color is gone

Just installed Visual Studio 2013 (it seems there was no choice - tried to download vs 2012 from Microsoft but they automatically redirect me to 2013...).

I noticed that all those things that used to be colored in turquoise - like classes, types, attributes - are now plain black! I mean all those things that trigger the little blue "smart tag" thingie that when you press ctrl+dot you get a little option to add the appropriate "using" statement.enter image description here

I've looked through and through in the tools > options > fonts and colors. In vs 2012, under "display items", there were entries such as "user types - XXXXX" which were colored turquoise. But in 2013 they're gone too! :-(

Productivity power tools is not installed...

Disabling and then enabling Productivity Power Tools 2013 extension resolved the issue for me.

If you've installed the preview of Roslyn, unintstall it. This worked for me.

For others who run into this, where the accepted answer doesn't work: try closing your project and deleting your suo file.

I tried devenv.exe /setup (as an admin, in a VS command prompt), I tried changing and restoring themes, I tried rebooting, etc. Nothing worked, but deleting my suo file fixed it.

I had the same issue in VS2013, fixed that with devenv.exe /setup
