Change color of Eclipse todo only - not whole comment

Question

I found out how to change the color of the todo tag in eclipse (window->preferences->general->editors->text editors->annotations->tasks) but this changes it so that when I write //TODO the entire line is affected. Is it possible so make it so that ONLY the word TODO is afected?

Yes, you can change the color of "task tag" comments under Preferences → Java → Editor → Syntax Coloring ⇉ Comments → Task Tags, as shown in the screenshot below. Note that "TASK" in the preview window is hot pink. "TODO" is a task tag, so it also appears hot pink for me.
