After a quick search through the settings, IntelliJ seems to indeed not have bracket colorization. I seem to remember there was an option for this, but it may have been a 3rd party plugin.
However, it has something that I find superior: when you're on a bracket, it will highlight its opposing bracket (closing if you're on opening, and vice versa).
The reason I think it's superior is that you can see directly which specific bracket you're looking for, you don't have to hunt for the corresponding shade. And in case your brackets are unbalanced, you'll see it directly.
