Description
### Description
NetBeans can show non-printable characters and customize their appearance, but paragraph signs are always black.
It would be nice to have also customizable paragraph signs: they should have the same color as the other non-printable characters have.
### Use case/motivation
Go to menu _View_.
Set the following option on: _Show Non-printable Characters_.
Black small dots appear on the place of whitespaces and black paraghaph signs appear on the line ends.
Go to menu _Tools_ and choose item _Options_.
Dialog window appears: _Options_.
Choose tab _Fonts & Colors_, on that tab choose tab _Syntax_.
Go to drop down box _Foreground_ and choose color: _Black_.
Whitespace signs and paragraph signs in the code sample pane are black.
Go to drop down box _Foreground_ again and choose color: _Cyan_.
### Actual behavior:
Whitespace signs become cyan, paragraph signs ¶ remain black.
### Proposed behavior:
Whitespace signs and paragraph signs both become cyan.

Research direction
Start in NetBeans' editor settings reached through View > Show Non-printable Characters and Tools > Options > Fonts & Colors > Syntax, then reproduce the color change in the code sample pane. Trace how whitespace and paragraph signs are rendered and configured; done means both symbols use the selected Foreground color.
