I applied the same color to numbers and hexadecimal values as well (right now command not available, but machinery already implemented, available in 15 days), but not RGB hexadecimal values ( color#RRGGBB (available from 7.1) ) or font sizes or other numeric parameters.

About basic, I did never used it, but I don't think it uses the same kind of tokens. I looked some screenshots and I'm still not sure about the token types (blue and green). The numbers are in a red variant as in your screenshot in basic, but more pale. I'm using non bright CSS3 colors for it and I don't really believe we need a parallelism with another software or module.

Maybe, I'll be able to add an entry on expert configuration for changing colors.
I'll check it out. But building the UI for normal users is way too complicated.

It also hit me to put comments in gray, but I haven't the internal machinery done yet.
