Settings/Preferences > Editor > Color Scheme > Rainbow Brackets:

Settings/Preferences > Other Settings > Rainbow Brackets > Number of colors: 10 or more

NOTE: There are 10 default colors for both light and dark theme, if your number is bigger than 10, you can config them in the config file. Please fellow the official guide:

• Export a color scheme as XML
• Edit the xml file, put ROUND_BRACKETS_RAINBOW_COLOR10 to ROUND_BRACKETS_RAINBOW_COLOR100 to match your number just like the default color scheme.
• Import a color scheme

If you want to customize the advanced configuration, you could edit the config file then restart your IDE. Config file path in APP_CONFIG/rainbow_brackets.xml.

In MAC OS env maybe like ~/Library/Preferences/IntelliJIdea2020.1/options/rainbow_brackets.xml.

If you are using the ToolBox, then it will be like ~/Library/ApplicationSupport/JetBrains/IntelliJIdea2020.1/options/rainbow_brackets.xml

In Linux env maybe like ~/.IntelliJIdea/config/options/rainbow_brackets.xml.

In Windows env maybe like C:\Users\izhangzhihao\.IntelliJIdea2020.1\config\options\rainbow_brackets.xml.

To enable rainbow brackets for HTML inside js code like this:

var html = '<div><div><div>Hello</div></div></div>';

This plugin will automatically override color scheme property "HTML_CODE" cause our rainbow color been covered by intellij built-in functionality. You still could set <option name="rainbowifyHTMLInsideJS" value="false" /> in config file to disable just like Config brackets colors.

To enable rainbow brackets for multiple level lambda Kotlin code like this:

event.throwable?.let { throwable ->
    IdeErrorsDialog.findPluginId(throwable)?.let { pluginId ->
        PluginManager.getPlugin(pluginId)?.let { ideaPluginDescriptor ->
            if (!ideaPluginDescriptor.isBundled) {
                bean.pluginName = ideaPluginDescriptor.name
                bean.pluginVersion = ideaPluginDescriptor.version
            }
        }
    }
}

This plugin will automatically override color scheme property "KOTLIN_FUNCTION_LITERAL_BRACES_AND_ARROW" cause our rainbow color is being covered by kotlin plugin built-in functionality. You still could set <option name="rainbowifyKotlinFunctionLiteralBracesAndArrow" value="false" /> in config file to disable just like Config brackets colors.

If you want to disable rainbow brackets for javascript languages and java languages, you could set languageBlacklist property in config file just like:

<application>
  <component name="RainbowSettings">
    <option name="languageBlacklist">
      <array>
        <option value="java" />
        <option value="javascript" />
      </array>
    </option>
  </component>
</application>

NOTE: You can use name of language or extension of file name(The names should be lowercase).

NOTE: To view the PSI tree and explore the internal structure of source code, you need to setup your IDE follow this.
