That doesn't look awful... what about blue/cyan/green?  Does that look not ugly?

Its a little tough as you say, the only colors that are 'meaningful' here are: 
[RED],[GREEN],[YELLOW],[BLUE],[MAGENTA],[CYAN]
(black and white excluded because black is 'background' typically, and white is 
the normal text color). 

I'd probably nix Red, just because it is used for 'error' and is rarely used 
for syntax anyway.  Magenta seems weird for syntax highlighting as well, so 
that leaves Green, Yellow, Blue, Cyan.

Blue for keywords/etc makes a lot of sense, that is a common color that is 
pretty universal.  Green is interesting, it is sorta 1/2 and 1/2 used for 
comments or literals it looks from some dark-mode image-googling.  I think a 
coin flip on Green works either way (though a SLIGHT personal preference for 
comments?).  So that leaves Yellow/Cyan for the other.  I have a hard time 
being able to choose.

BTW, appreciate your patience here on the colors, I'm hopeful someone with 
better ideas/opinions than mine (which is quite unhelpful at the moment 
obviously) will come along and just 'choose'.
