Ha! I never noticed how little syntax highlighting I was actually using until I read this post and then quickly looked at my editor screen. Being colour blind means that I'm not seeing a lot of the "additional" information being added, so the end result is that I have 3 colours in use (base, constants, and strings) with bold for keywords.
I personally would think that too many colour variations would become distracting and slow down coding because you have to remember what each colour means rather than understanding the actual text of the code. But that's just me.
Do whatever makes you more productive. Working code is more useful than "pretty" non-working text :D
