Is it possible to color brackets/parenthesis in eclipse

So I've recently been converted to Eclipse from Textpad [wow I didn't know what I was missing] and the only main complaint is I can't figure out how to how to get my brackets to be a different color. I changed all the other colors to my old look so I guess my real problem is I can't add new rules to the list of different template items and brackets isn't in there by default.

I use PHP, here's the version of Eclipse:

Go to

Windows > Preferences.

Then navigate to 

General > Editors > Structured Text Editors.

You'll find a list where you can adjust Matching brackets highlights. Choose an intense color, as brackets are only highlighted by a thin outline.

EDIT:

It seems I misunderstood your request. What you are looking should is the font color of brackets. This should be placed in 

PHP > Editor > Syntax Coloring

But there is yet no option to define a a different color for brackets or braces (like for Java)
