How to change font color in the register for "Amount" Column

Added a new account and these show red in the future which is annoying. I only want to see a red font on 'balance' if in fact, in the 'red'. Read help articles and looked at font/color changes but not specific to the "Amount" column.

thanks

    Past or future transactions, the Amount column in your register always shows negative amounts (withdrawals, check payments, charges) in red color.
    Here's an example from my checking account register where I've added the Amount column:

    Out of old habit, I only use the traditional paper checkbook columns, Payment and Deposit.
    The Amount column is a relatively new addition to the register columns. Apparently by default, new account registers show all three columns.
    IMHO, you should decide which of the three columns to use: either Payment and Deposit together or only Amount. Remove whichever column(s) you don't like to use.
