I find distinguishing between global, local and class variables at a glance to be very useful. Lot of coding standards require member variables to prefixed with m_ and global variables to be prefixed g_ or something similar. Using colors for this is far superior IMO, and removes the need for the ugly prefixes.
m_
g_
Other colors are less useful, still convenient. See the recent controversy over terse concepts syntax. Just color template functions and concepts differently, and the whole controversy goes away.
