I would like user-assigned symbols to be colored dark blue instead of black, to distinguish them from built-in symbols. Is this possible? I wasn't able to find any option available for this in the Mathematica front-end.

The options shown in this answer: https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/a/22524/46327 Suggest that maybe this is something that requires a little code to implement.

Pick your desired color (and perhaps your favorite context):

SetOptions[EvaluationNotebook[], AutoStyleOptions -> {"SymbolContextStyles" -> {"Global`" -> {FontColor -> RGBColor[0.5, 0.5, 1.]}}}]

You can use $FrontEnd, $FrontEndSession, or another notebook instead of EvaluationNotebook[].
