I think Jon was implying that more colours would be better - with the 
implicit assumption that the script editor would use them to 
differentiate more kinds of items. There are a number of keywords or 
reserved words that currently appear in simple text colour,

e.g.
 msg
 into, after, before
 in  (e.g. send "asd" to me in 10 seconds)

which could usefully be coloured, IMHO.
