Is there a way to color of best bid and best ask text separately?

In the trade DOM, on the price scale, I'm looking to color:

Background of the last trade yellow
Text of best ask, green
Text of best bid, red

On the price scale, I was able to enable:
Last Trade Price Box (Yellow)
Trade DOM Last Price Text Ask Trade (green)
Trade DOM Last Price Text Bid Trade (red)

I didn't see an option for best bid text or best ask text. Am I missing it somewhere?

Alternatively, I went to the recent bid/ask volume columns, and I see an option to color best bid background, best ask background but now text? Am I missing it somewhere?

Thank you for your help

What you have found are most of the options. There is not an option for exactly what you want.

There is one other item available, which is "Trade DOM Best Bid/Ask Box Background". Refer to the following for this:

So there's no best bid/ask text options for anything? It's only backgrounds?

For display in the DOM - that is correct.

There is another item that can display where the Best Bid/Ask is located, but it draws a line next to the DOM. Refer to the following:
