I find it very useful to colorizes inherited field access with another color than regular field access like the already built-in inherited method invocation with JDT built in syntax coloring.

Unfortunately, it isn't possible to assign different colors for fields and inherited fields in preferences->java->syntax coloring->element->java.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Open a java source file containing a field and a accessible inherited field from a parent class and try to assign different colors.
e.g.

public void aMethod() {

  Type a = field;
	Type b = inheritedField;

}
field and inheritedField can be shown with different colors.

May be we can combine inherited filed access with inherited method invocation to inherited member access for both fields and methods.
