I surely like this! :-).

Could the highlighting be made consistent as well?  I would suggest that
gray is uniformly kept for all one-line option/environment keywords.
Currently, #+TITLE is gray, #+OPTIONS is red, so #+OPTION would be
rendered the same as #+TITLE.  The gray would counter-balance the
shouting of the capitals, making it more bearable.

For lowercase multi-line environments keywords, red is just fine, and I
did not see exceptions so far (which does not mean there are not any).
