Mark or colour NULL values in SQL Developer

By default SQL Developer shows null values in the following way:

Screenshot - SQL Developer - Default Null value
Screenshot – SQL Developer – Default Null value

This is not very notable, so we’ll change it to the following markup:
Screenshot - SQL Developer - What an awesome NULL color!
Screenshot – SQL Developer – What an awesome NULL color!

To do this, we need to go to Preferences – Database – Advanced and change the value for “Display Null Using Background Color”
Screenshot - SQL Developer - Settings for colouring NULL values
Screenshot – SQL Developer – Settings for colouring NULL values
