I don't know who David is, but I do know your 'solution' won't work when the braces are part of the Find expression (so as to prevent other instances of Bm being found) - it changes the braces as well. Try it for yourself.

If the OP was doing a Find/Replace on only the 'Bm', the issue wouldn't arise - the 'Am' would adopt the same colour as the 'Bm' without any need to specify the replacement colour. You can confirm that too.
