Handling error cases in JavaScript doesn't look that pleasant:

I've debated whether the Error() object even deserves to be red since it is actually the prudent, future-proofing developer who writes error handling. Maybe Error should be the Special color, SpaceduckPurple? Or we could just make the red color more pleasant to look at by making it brighter.

Also, why should throw be orange? I think it would be more fitting to be green like all other function calls such as return (which is what throw substitutes).
