that depends. What color would you like to change it to?
seriously - syntax highlighting can .. at times get to be pretty difficult.
depending on the complexity and rules you want to parse the text by you
might be looking at a lot of manual labor.
there are several syntax highliters for .net out there (I use Syncfusion)
that you might want to check out. Usually,
(component cost) <
component cost < (your salary X your hours X debugging X QA)
