How to set macOS Ventura Spotlight Color?

When I use Spotlight, the highlight color is a yellow that over white text makes it impossible to read as shown in the screenshot below.


How do I change that highlight color.


Thanks in advance!

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.6

Thanks but that's the highlight color for selected text for text boxes like this one. It doesn't affect the color used in the Spotlight search bar.


You only have 2 options In Appearance settings effecting color...


If changing Accent color did not work for you as indicated above


then try the next option and compare your results. Don't know what else to tell you.
