How do I change the colour of my reviewing in ms word?

I want to review changes to an MS word document but I want to be able to see what I've changed AND what the person before me has changed but both of our reviewing font colours are blue! How do I change mine to any other colour? I know it can be done because someone else's is teal!How do I change the colour of my reviewing in ms word?
The problem could originated because:

鈥?A modification on the review track change default

鈥?Share the same Author name and initials
