How can I change Intellisense tooltip colors

How can I change the colors of the tooltip shown by Intellisense under Visual Studio?

I've customized my editor colors to get white text on a dark background, by keeping VS theme to "Blue" (I find that the Dark theme lacks contrast), but now the Intellisense tooltip is unreadable.

The quickest and easiest fix is to change the following colors:

  • Tools → Options → Environment → Fonts and Colors → Show settings for "Environment":
    • ToolTip
    • ToolTip Border
  • Tools → Options → Environment → Fonts and Colors → Show settings for "Editor Tooltip":
    • Plain Text

options options 2

Here I managed to make the tooltip readable with my dark editor colors on a "Blue" theme:

If that's not enough, you could install the Color Theme Editor addon as suggested here.
