Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors
In Visual Studio 2017, the settings (Active) and (Inactive) were combined into a single "Highlight Current Line" setting.
If you have Resharper, you need to change "ReSharper Current Line Highlight" too.
Also, in the Dark theme, don't expect the color that you choose for this will be exactly honored. See this closed bug report: Highlight Current Line for an explanation
in Visual Studio 2019 setting color is useless, until you check Tools -> Options -> Text Editor ->General -> Display -> Highlight current line
