Default Inno Setup IDE (Compil32.exe)
It does not support the changing of the syntax colors. They are hard-coded in sources. So only way how to change them is to recompile the Inno Setup from sources. Their colors are defined here.
Important Note: The colors are different for each Theme the IDE uses.
See this file to understand how the colors are applied to specific items.
Visual & Installer for Visual Studio IDE
Colors can be completely adjusted in Options dialog, section Fonts and Colors. They do NOT match the official Inno Setup color, the V&I is not an exact copy of Inno IDE, feel free to adjust colors to match your needs.
Important Note: It is hard to compare the colors, because the IDEs have different mechanism how the syntax highlighting works! Not everything that is a Keyword in Inno IDE is a Keyword in V&I etc.
Parameter and Identifiers
The colors for Parameters and Identifiers are currently not used and are reserved for future use.
- Parameters are actually keywords in
[Files] section and they are colored with Keyword color currently:
- Identifiers are internal representation of Variables, Functions, Procedures etc. and they are colored accordingly.
For completeness here are the default colors used in Visual & Installer - Visual Studio:

/*1*/ new LanguageColorableItem(Name + " - Keyword", Name + " - Keyword", COLORINDEX.CI_BLUE, COLORINDEX.CI_USERTEXT_BK, System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb((int)LanguageColorableItem.clrYelGold), System.Drawing.Color.Empty, FONTFLAGS.FF_DEFAULT),

Update
Following provided by @ajtruckle.
The Inno Setup colour constants (from the source code link above) are:
MRed = $3D29CC; { Azure DevOps }
MGreen = $339933; { Azure DevOps }
MBlue = $D47800; { Azure DevOps }
MOrange = $5E88E5; { Azure DevOps }
MPurple = $933B77; { Azure DevOps }
MYellow = $1DCBF2; { Azure DevOps }
MTeal = $B0C94E; { Visual Studio 2017 }
MGray = $707070; { Inno Setup 5 }
The colour codes above appear to be BGR. Taking that into account these appear to be the equivalent colour mappings for Visual and Installer:
Comment — Green — RGB(51, 153, 51)Keyword — Blue — RGB(0, 120, 212)Number — Orange — RGB(229, 136, 94)Pascal — Blue — RGB(0, 120, 212)Preprocessor — Red — RGB(204, 41, 61)String — Orange — RGB(229, 136, 94)
Visual and Installer specific:
ConstantFlagSectionParameter — Not yet in use (usage as described above)Identifier — Not yet in use (usage as described above)
