Python defaults diverged in several places: built-ins used the predefined magenta, __init__/__doc__ used function/self colours, instance fields the property colour, f-strings and byte strings the generic string colour, and the PEP 695 type keyword was uncoloured. Python now has its own tokens for built-ins, predefined definitions/usages, f-strings and byte strings; instance fields follow identifiers; type is a keyword. Unused parameters (not reported by Pyrefly) are greyed by a scope-aware local check that skips self/cls/_ names and signatures dictated elsewhere: stubs, @abstractmethod/@overload/@override, dunder methods and methods of classes with bases.

Python files got semantic colours only once the language server answered, and locals, globals, instance and class attributes, constants, properties and type parameters all looked the same. A highlighter on the Lezer syntax tree now colours them right away in PyCharm's finer categories (also self, builtins, decorators, definitions, method calls, brackets); LSP semantic tokens stay authoritative when they arrive. The categories are new --syn-python-* theme tokens wired through the built-in themes and Harbor Night, and PyCharm .icls schemes import their PY.* attributes.
