Is there any way to set in the manage dashboards/filters list the favorite star color from grey?

Now the color of the star is grey, and I've changed the all of items in the Look and Feel options, but the star is still grey. Which means for me that is inactive. 

I'd like to have in in yellow color.

Ok, so it took me longer than I would like to admit to figure out how to do this.  But that said, this is actually a pretty cool hack, and I'm excited to share it and what steps I took to figure this out.   What I did was first, I found a related post on this in https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Customize-Jira-with-my-own-css/qaq-p/546361

From that post, I took  Alejandro's answer that suggested to use a CSS change this. After digging into the way this element is displayed on the page, I found the .fav-link element could be manipulated to change the color value here.  I found this worked, but that the color would keep changing back immediately.   So I did some more searching and came across this post from a Confluence thread:

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-to-modify-the-link-style/qaq-p/118616

In it, Hans-peter suggested the use of a '!important' element in CSS to make sure this overrides the default settings. 

In turn you can edit the announcement banner (Jira Server only now, sorry Cloud), and add this content:

<style type="text/css">
.fav-link {
color: #f4f442 !important;
}
</style>

Once this has been added the favorite stars will appear as yellow.  This works for both dashboards and filters.   Of course you can change the color to just about whatever you want.  I was also pleasantly surprised to find that googling for hex color picker now allows me to find this directly in my google search results now.
