The syntax coloration option in ViewVC is for displaying the contents of
files of certain recognizable types (C source files, Perl source files,
shell scripts, etc.) with colorized text to denote various classes of
information in those files (code comments, static strings, keywords, etc.).
 This feature is not currently implemented for ViewVC's diff views, but more
importantly, is not the same thing as the colorized difference display you
are describing.

ViewVC's "Colored Diff" difference display type (and its peers, "Long
Colored Diff" and the newer "Full Colored Diff") should show colored
backgrounds in the side-by-side display to denote added, removed, and
modified lines.  If you need more precise (like, per-word or per-character)
coloration of differences, you might want to experiment with the intraline
diff feature by setting:

  hr_intraline = 1

in the "[options]" section of your viewvc.conf file.
