Change the color of text highlighted by ctrl+f

I am partially sighted. When I find text using ctrl+f, I find the results are hard to locate. Is there a way of customising the appearance of the found text?

I'm using Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.

Any pointers would be appreciated....

Hi Sorcerer,

Sorry, there isn't as such setting that you can change to allow changes in the searched text colors.

If I understand correctly, you have referred to the color of searched text through founder?

In Adobe Pro, if you deselect "Always use the system selection color" in the Preference / Accessibility, it will highlight the search result in a gray background. screenshot below...

You can try color options in the accessibility of the preferences.

I don't see any Accessibility options in the free version of Reader.

Yes - I am referring to the highlighting of the text found by the "Find" (ctrl+f) function.

Surely it can't be just me that has this problem. I'm surprised rthat Adobe doesn't have a "settings" option for this.
