Perhaps the lesson is "Don't try stuff as root", do it as an
unprivileged user, thats why we read the user config so users can
change it without touching the system stuff :)
And as a user mistakes make less of a mess :)

I found it!!
For some reason, I had 2 filetypes.JSON.conf files:
/usr/share/geany/filetypes.JSON.conf
and
/root/.config/geany/filedefs/filetypes.JSON.conf
This seems to have come about because I accessed Geany in supervisor
mode to edit filetypes.JSON.conf.
In the meantime, I have merrily been editing
/root/.config/geany/filedefs/filetypes.JSON.conf, while Geany, accessed
in user mode uses /usr/share/geany/filetypes.JSON.conf.
What are "names"?
Perhaps I am using Name inappropriately. What I mean is the lowest
element in a json file is a name:value pair (i.e.,
{"myVarName":"myVarValue"}). While not very important, I can see some
merit in differentiating the name from the value.
The only way I have found so far to differentiate names from values is
by setting lexer_filetype=YAML.
Thanks Matthew & Lex for all your help.

Re: [Geany-Users] EuGeany - Geany support for the Euphoria Programming Language
Thanks again. :-) Personally, I have decided not to inherit the Lua styling because I have customized the syntax coloring to my preference. I have posted a note to the Euphoria mailing list that suggesting that Lua's styling can be inherited as you have indicated. I have also encouraged Euphoria/Geany users to subscribe to this list.

Also, when creating a custom filetype, you generally want to inherit styles from the filetype you inherit the lexer from. E.g., in your case replacing the whole [styling] section with [styling=Lua]. That's not required of course, but it's less work for you and it's more future-proof (if new styles are added in the future, you'd automatically get them).
