The colors for each editor can be set separately by simply selecting the editor you wish to change in the multi-choice list at the left, and adjusting colors as required. Notice that changes appear in real-time on your screen. In addition, details such as the dot size in the 3D Viewport or the Graph Editor can also be changed.
