Changing Monokai color scheme in Sublime Text

I understand this is an old question; However:

If you highlight the bracket and press:

ctrl + shift + alt + p (for Windows / Linux), or
^ + ⇧ + P (for OSX)

The scope of the bracket will be displayed on the status bar at the bottom of the screen. An example of this: if I highlight self

in Python and use this command, the appropriate scope variable.language.python

. It's at the bottom of the reach list.

ie: -> scope.python variable.language.python

Take the last item.

Here you can use the Package Resource Viewer to open the Monokai.tmTheme file located under Color Scheme - Default and modify it as follows:

<dict>
    <key>name</key>
    <string>Call it something</string>        <!-- USE YOUR NAME -->
    <key>scope</key>
    <string>variable.language.python</string> <!-- USE YOUR SCOPE -->
    <key>settings>/key>
    <dict>
        <key>foreground</key>
        <string>#000000</string>              <!- PROVIDE HEX RGB COLOR -->
    </dict>
</dict>

      

        
        
        
      

    

Save the .tmTheme file and the curly braces should now be changed to match the selected color.
