Well it mostly depends on the parser. But the behavior you describe is pretty
common in other languages. To be precise, you actually have invalid code, but
you are on the way to make it valid.
For me a solution would be a timer/delay when the syntax coloring hits in.
So while you are typing it stays black, but after some 200ms pause it will
give you feedback (also when you press any of: ' ,;:[]|(){}").
