I think this is also called semantic coloring. Visual Studio Code has it on the roadmap to try this year: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/wiki/Roadmap#edito

    Ecliose also has had this for ages at this point. I don't remember when they introduced it, but when you can memorize the meanings of all the colors, it's great.

  No, semantic coloring is about the editor having deep knowledge about your code, this is about having very similar looking names or lexemes appear different. FTA: It's fine that mov doesn't look like eax, but I'd rather prefer pmulhw and pmulhuw to be shown as differently as possible.
