Answer 3

As the breadcrumb changed appearance in 2017.2, this can now also be configured better. Go to File > Settings > Editor > General > Breadcrumbs (Windows/Linux) or PhpStorm > Preferences > Editor > General > Breadcrumbs for macOS. There you can press "Manage colors" to get to the options pictured above.
