I propose the following change to the language.nbs for JSON to effect my proposed highlighting change. In the grammar
section change
Pair = <js_string> ":" Value;
to
Pair = Key Value;
Key = <js_string> ":";
This enables us to distinguish key from value. And then in the following colors section add:
COLOR:js_number: {
foreground_color:"#009900";
}
COLOR:Key: {
foreground_color:"black";
}
This makes numbers a mid-green, keys black and leave string values as orange and Booleans and null as blue.

[ BUILD # : 200710071200 ] [ JDK VERSION : 1.6.0_02 ] JSON protocol has a very limited syntax and a significant chunk of it will tend to be strings. This leads to unhelpful highlighting. It could be improved by making name strings a different colour from other strings and giving a colour to numbers. So, {"name":"value"} would highlight "name" as light blue say instead as orange as is the case for "value".
