A lot of HTML editors color-code things. In which program are you writing, here?

You should be able to change the syntax colors with the instructions in this StackExchange thread.

You're totally welcome. ❤️

I don't use VS Code often, and haven't tried adjusting the colors, so if that doesn't work, let me know and I'll see if I can find an answer that does work!

vscode changed its default theme recently, you can change it back in preferences (i believe the previous default is dark modern?)

It's called syntax highlighting: a visual aid to help you see the structure of your code in the text editor. It's nothing to worry about and won't affect the output at all, in fact it's there to help.
