Possibility I:
Instead of ":syn match" which will be overridden by the syntax
highlighting, use ":2match", which won't.
Possibility II:
:set list listchars=tab:\|_
will show every tab as one | character followed by zero or more _
characters, all of them in SpecialKey highlighting, which by default has
blue foreground.
Best regards,
Tony.
