I _love_ your site!

I have a question about https://wordsandbuttons.online/lexical_differential_highligh.... What does this part mean:

> Ideally, the smaller the lexical difference, the greater the color difference should be.

I am fascinated by different ways to represent code visually.

This means that the more lexemes look alike, the more they need color difference the highlighting provides. Like 'coordinate_u' and 'coordiante_v' should be distinctively different, but 'coordinate_u' and 'GetCanvasWidth' can even share the same color.

Thank you!
