ipython: change syntax highlighting color for matching parenthesis – Debian

I am using ipython 5.8.0 on Debian 10

Following screenshot shows the colors of normal command, and a command when my cursor moves to a parenthesis and matching parenthesis are highlighted:

enter image description here

This color scheme is unfortunate. Where can I change this?

    You can create ipython profile if not exists and change theme

    check if ipython_config.py presents under ~/.ipython/profile_default/ if not then you can run this command to create it

    ipython profile create

    open ipython_config.py file in any editor of your like and uncomment and update these options as you like

    c.InteractiveShell.color_info = True

c.InteractiveShell.colors = 'Linux'

c.TerminalInteractiveShell.highlighting_style = 'monokai'

c.TerminalInteractiveShell.highlight_matching_brackets = True
