the new keyword "var" in Eclipse Java Editor (4.8.0) is always printed as bold brown.
How do I change the color and remove the bold effect?
I can not find it in "Syntax Coloring" in preferences.

Hi, I'm also experiencing the same problem. The var word looks dark purple (precisely #730155). When I combine this with a dark gray background it's very unpleasant on the eyes.

I noticed that when I switch themes it looks good for a short moment and then becomes purple. It seems that it's not the syntax coloring that's causing the problem but the grammar coloring that is overriding and causing the problem.
This makes sense after reading this issue: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=532313
However it claims it has been solved.
Maybe this is a different issue?

Thank you for your reply.
I have tried to add these lines into preferences file and import it, then it works!

/instance/org.eclipse.jdt.ui/semanticHighlighting.varKeyword.bold=false
/instance/org.eclipse.jdt.ui/semanticHighlighting.varKeyword.color=0,255,255
/instance/org.eclipse.jdt.ui/semanticHighlighting.varKeyword.enabled=true

However, there is still no way to change these properties in GUI dialog.
Maybe another bug.

Resurrecting the thread because this stopped working after upgrading to 2019-09.
I find no option to set the color myself and importing the .epf doesn't find any preference.

Anybody experienced the same issue?
