How change the color of rulers in Visual Studio Code

Question

Not sure if this feature is included in the VSCode settings yet, but I\'d love to change the ruler color from it\'s default grey.

Tried:

\"editor.rulers.

From the February 2020 v1.43 release, you can set per-ruler colors. Use like this:

"editor.rulers": [
  {
    "column": 80,
    "color": "#ff00ff"
  },
  100,  // a ruler with the default or editorRuler.foreground color at column 100
  {
    "column": 120,
    "color": "#ff0000"
  },
],
