In PHPStorm 2017.1 EAP Build #PS-171.2014.12 built on December 28th, 2016 , the color scheme for inline parameter hints is broken.
It can be modified here:

This is what the config needs to look like (although I chose random colors)
<option name="INLINE_PARAMETER_HINT">
<value>
<option name="FOREGROUND" value="777777" />
<option name="BACKGROUND" value="222222" />
</value>
</option>
