For Visual Studio specifically:

1. Install the extension Color Theme Editor for Visual Studio 2019 from the market: LINK or from within the VS itself --> Extensions --> Manage --> Online (Use the search bar)
2. When this extension is installed open it from within VS by --> Tool --> Customize Colors and then use the search for key word "caret" and change the Foreground and Background colors of the indicator/cursor/caret.

Example: Text Editor -> VsVim Block Caret -> Background
