Answer 2

I am a dev. on the Visual Studio team. There are currently two official workarounds:

1. Uninstall the F# language support via the VS installer.
2. Ctrl+Q and search for 'theme' and select 'Environment -> General' and then switch from one theme to another and press 'Ok', then, repeat and switch back.

NOTE: Workaround #2 is only temporary. Installing a new extension or update will revert the colors back to their current state.
