Hi there, First off I am getting old and my eye sight is getting worse, but for all that I still dont understand (after having chosen a theme) how to use the Windows preferences to chose the font colour to change / over-ride if you dont like a colur. E.g.

JOVIAL_TABLE_REGEX = \
re.compile ( r'TABLE{1}\s+(?P<t_name>\w+)\s+(?P<t_type>[R|V])\s+(?P<t_limit>\d)\s+(?P<t_words>\d+|[MNDB])' )

The text after r'TABLE all appears as RED ish, but I have no idea which font colour to change which matches the colour shown. How do I understand which font colour is appllied to the font?

For Java you will see that there are preferences for Java -> Editor -> Syntax Coloring and that those are different from the choices available in General -> Appearance -> Colors and Fonts -> Java. But I don't know which language/edtior you are using...
