More of a work-around, but you could try to create/edit a colour scheme in your user directory, instead of changing `filetypes.common`. IIRC the Win32 installer comes with the option to install [geany-themes](https://github.com/geany/geany-themes) which includes a bunch themes, one of which you could use as a base for your own.
