Ubuntu – How to change eclipse console output color

consoleeclipse

I am running eclipse on Ubuntu 12.04 and I'd like to change console output color. I tried to edit it via Preferences>Run/Debug>Console>Background color but it doesn't work. Is there some other way to change?

The Run/Debug>Console menu is correct. But you have to use the "Standard Out/Standard Error text color" buttons. (You can select different colors for standard output and for standard error). Here:
