If your syntax highlighting is using so many colors that you're worried about running out, then your syntax highlighting is using too many colors ;) I never understood why some syntax highlighters make your code look like a goddamned rainbow threw up on it. There are so many colors that they stop meaning anything. Kate's default D highlighting scheme comes to mind as a particularly heinous offender. Do we really need different colors for 1, 0x1, 0b1, 01, and 1.0? They're all numbers. How about different highlighting for *every kind of string literal*?
