Hi Caty,
I suggest not to use different colors for syntax chooser buttons since some
readability issues may occur when changing the background color of the table
header. An idea would be to use different shades of gray for background as I
tried in the attached image.
Thanks Ciprian.

Personally I don't find it useful at all to be able to display more than
one syntax at a time. On the contrary, it's confusing, with all the
different colors and strike-through, and intermixed lines. Instead of a
checkbox behavior, I'd like a radio button behavior.
I'd also like a global syntax switcher, since users rarely want to look
at mixed syntaxes.
And this brings me to the main point, who is this page for, and how is
it going to be used?
I think that since this is a syntax help, most people will use it as a
quick reference for the syntax they need to use at the moment, not as a
comparison tool to check which of the syntaxes is the coolest.
