Answer 1

Optional: Install the color theme editor: http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/366ad100-0003-4c9a-81a8-337d4e7ace05

In the theme editor or Tools > Options > Environment > Fonts and Colors

Search for: 'HTML Server-Side Script' to edit the foreground & background of @ and other tags.

Search for: 'Razor Code' to edit the background of the Razor code.

VS2013 appears to have change this from "Razor Code" to "HTML Server Code Block Background". – Gca

And VS2013 Update 2 seems to have changed this to "HTML Razor Code Background". – Custom

For VS2013 Update 4, it is "HTML Server Code Block Background". One more thing, if you don't see the color change immediately after saving, restart VS once and check again (I had to restart VS for the change to take effect). – Arv

Answer 2

Besides the way that @seanjacob mentioned, there's a built-in way if you'd rather not install an extension just to change Razor colors. This approach is shown in this answer.
