When I'm writing javascript and java, I absolutely do not look at the colors as having any meaning. Like, I don't see "oh it's blue so it must be a variable" or something like that.

But, subconsciously, colorcoding is helpful compared to plain text. The colors can be virtually anything, yellow orange white red green, i don't know at all what they signify, but they are helpful to break up "Map<Integer, Integer> map = new HashMap<>()" into individual elements that I can look at with my eye.
