If you have a categorised list, it's under "Code" > "Matched Brace" – Mikepote Jan 18 '16 at 13:02

As of 2020, this is now found under Editor -> Color Scheme -> General -> Code -> Matched Brace. – ankush981 May 01 '20 at 12:23

Maybe the plugin HighlightBracketPair is suitable for you. The plugin will highlight the most left and most right brace pair for you when you move the caret, and you can custom the color the effect.
