Eclipse console exception color

This seems simple enough, but I can't seem to find the setting in Eclipse to change this setting.

I prefer my consoles to have dark colors with white text. I leave the print to stderr as the red default.

My problem lies in when I receive an Exception, it's set to a very dark blue, so I can't see the text of it easily without highlighting the link.

I didn't see it in the console preferences, and also do not see it anywhere in the various other setting locations.

I like this:

Console Grep

It allows for custom highlighting/text colors depending on what is printed. Assuming you have an idea of how regexes work (if not lots of tutorials exist) it works quite well.

Changing the Hyperlink text color will do what you want, but this is used elsewhere in Eclipse so you may want to choose a colour that is reasonably legible on both light and dark backgrounds.
