This will sound weird, but I actually turn off the syntax highlighter most of the time. I usually use a black background in my terminal, and often the syntax highlighter (or even directory colours in a shell) are set to dark blue, which I have a really hard time distinguishing. I could remap my colours, I suppose, however I used to often find myself trouble shooting at someone else's terminal. Since then I just found it easier to have it turned off completely.
