New parens matching color is breaking my brain

I updated to the latest Apprentice 3 days ago, and for 3 days I've been constantly confused about where my cursor is when dealing with matching parens. I rolled back to see what the difference was. When the matching was white, the opposite paren lit up enough that I would lock onto it. Now that they're a tan brown, the change in the paren is so subtle, that I immediately lock onto the matching paren, highlighted in brown, and my brain tells me that now I'm there. This effect is worse when the parens are near each other - a few characters apart - I feel like I just jumped to the opposite side, and I instantly start hitting motions and commands as though I'm there. For 3 days I've been confused like this and making one error after another. I can always override it, but I thought I'd mention it, as it's an actual issue I'm running into over and over. I didn't even know colors could do this to my head. Would #FFFFAF (also in the palette) be an acceptable alternative?

I'm not satisfied with it either: typing something like () is a nightmare, now.

You should probably roll back to an earlier commit or, better, release, while I figure out a better solution.

Let me know if last commit fixes things for you.

That works great. I'm no longer confused, and it fits better than white did, too. Thanks!

Good to hear, I will close this ticket, now.
