Visual Studio change C# method parameter colouring

In Visual Studio 2013, is there a way to change the syntax colouring of C# method parameters?

e.g. Can I have AAA and BBB colored, but not someInt, Foo, ToString

private int MyMethod(int AAA, int BBB)
{
    int someInt = new int();
    someInt = AAA + BBB;
    string Foo = AAA.ToString();
}

I tried going to Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colours -> Text Editor and changing Identifier, but this changed the coloring of just about everything (variables, methods, parameters).

Now you can do this in Visual Studio without any extension.

Here is VS 2022

I recently found this extention while looking for the same thing for TypeScript, apparently it supports C# and VisualBasic, so it may be helpful for you and anybody else looking:

ReSharper can do this.

First, check this in ReSharper options:

ReSharper options

Then choose the color in the VS options:

VS options

End result:

Unfortunately, you will not find a way to colorize parameter variables with the C# language. You do have the option, however, of writing an extension to do just that. Or, you could rewrite everything in C++, where you can get your parameters colorized.
