Hello Aaron,
You could do something like this:
syn match Sel1 /^\.selector/ nextgroup=Items1 skipwhite
syn region Items1 start=/{/ end=/}/ contained keepend
\ nextgroup=Sel2 skipwhite skipempty
hi Sel1 guibg=#000044
hi Items1 guibg=#000044
syn match Sel2 /^\.selector/ contained nextgroup=Items2 skipwhite
syn region Items2 start=/{/ end=/}/ contained keepend
hi Sel2 guibg=#004400
hi Items2 guibg=#004400
That will get you started.
regards,
Peter
