Hi,

There are two things that I like very much in the previous color scheme.

1. the local variables and the parameters were displayed with gray and  
instance variables and classes were displayed with black. This had the  
nice advantage of distinguishing both the classes and the instance  
variables in one glance.

You could argue that this introduces a new visual variable, but the  
choice of the coloring was actually quite intuitive and with basically  
no cost:
- all variables are shown with shades of gray (thus requiring only one  
mental mapping), and
- the darkness is used to show the "prominence" of a variable: the  
larger the scope the darker the variable

2. The other nice thing in the previous coloring is the coloring of  
matching parentheses. This is quite nice when using blocks for  
scripting.

Cheers,
Doru
