Windows 10: How do I return the colors back to the default setting

So I decided to turn on eye saver mode which was fine until I realized I was unable to see highlighted text in Word. I went back to remove or turn off eye saver mode and could not fine the switch. In order to complete working I played around with the colors until I was able to see highlighted text. Unfortunately, everything is the "wrong" color now. I simply wish to return the colors to the original default settings. Please instruct. Thank you.
