Using winston for node.js logging, I get json log files. A log file in this vein is simply a sequence of (newline delimited) json objects. This is great for log querying and tre

Mixing Allen Bargui's and MattDMo's answers, you can change the color of the nested keys/values by simply adding more dicts specifying the depth of the code by adding a meta after the source.json word.

Locate the theme file by going to Preferences > Browse Packages and then inside the Color Scheme - Default folder. Edit it by adding these lines:

    name
    Json Keys - 1 deep
    scope
    source.json meta meta.structure.dictionary.json string.quoted.double.json
    settings
    
        foreground
        #FF0000 
    



    name
    JSON Values - 1 deep
    scope
    source.json meta meta.structure.dictionary.json meta.structure.dictionary.value.json string.quoted.double.json
    settings
    
        foreground
        #00FF00 
    



    name
    Json Keys
    scope
    source.json meta.structure.dictionary.json string.quoted.double.json
    settings
    
        foreground
        #FF0000 
    



    name
    JSON Values
    scope
    source.json meta.structure.dictionary.json meta.structure.dictionary.value.json string.quoted.double.json
    settings
    
        foreground
        #00FF00 
    

It's important to add the deeper ones BEFORE the rest, as Sublime will select the first matching occurrence. I guessed adding more meta would work for further depths but it actually didn't... But it did the trick for depth 1 at least.
