Math environments mainly use two scopes constant.other.general.math.tex and constant.character.math.tex, hence the two different colours you see.
The content of \text{...} is indeed normal text, which justifies why it is highlighted as such. See #2215.

Strange syntax highlight color scheme in math environment
Preliminary questions [Required]
Disable all the other extensions except for LaTeX Workshop, restart VS Code, and check that you can not see the requested feature. [Required]
Yes
Make sure to visit the wiki FAQ before requesting a feature.
Yes
If your requested feature is with compiling a document (not having to do with finding the root file of a project), check first that you can compile manually.
Not relevant to this case.
Is your requested feature related to a problem? Please describe. [Required]
Many commands in the math environment have a
#569CD6color scheme, while some commands, such as\frac, have a#4EC9B0color scheme. This is the same color scheme as a normal variable, and it feels very hard to see. I don't have a complete list of commands whose color scheme is#4EC9B0.The color theme of the editor is
Default Dark+.Of course, users may be able to solve the problem by customizing
editor.tokenColorCustomizations, but I think the extension needs to solve this.Does this difference in color scheme have any meaning?
Describe the solution you'd like [Required]
If the difference in color scheme is not particularly meaningful, I would like you to align the commands in the mathematical environment with a unified color scheme
#569CD6.Additional to, I don't want the "some description" inside
\textto have the same color scheme as a normal variable.Screenshots

This is a very nice extension. Thank you.
