I'd expect @% to be highlighted just like A% (since they're both resident integer variables) but in A%=@%:@%=A%@% is green (looks like a slightly paler green than numbers).
It's true that the value of @% is used for formatting numbers, but other resident integer variables have special properties too (A%, C%, X%, Y% in CALL and USR; O% and P% in assembler).
