This is what prism.el provides: color reflects logical depth, which signifies the primary aspect of structure. IMHO it is generally more useful than making function names stand out (their position makes them stand out anyway), variable declarations a certain color (though helpful, I don't need to see that constantly), etc. A well-written piece of code communicates a lot by its shape, which logical colorization helps to reveal.
