Forth editor/customizable editor

I'm looking for an OS X editor (preferably a dedicated Forth editor, but I doubt it exists) that has/can be customized to change the font color of Forth variables, programs, etc. If not, is there any sort of workaround?

Look no further !!

I'm currently programming in FORTH using the 'Visual Studio Code; editor. Has (installable) syntax-highlighting for many languages, including FORTH.

Have a try: https://code.visualstudio.com/download

It has even automatic indenting, AND code folding!!

...and let me know if you like it like I do.

I know it's an old question, but: atom with the forth-language package. See http://atom.io/

Longer answer:

I have tried both emacs and atom on Mac OS X and both are more than adequate for editing Forth. Atom is lighter and easier to learn while maintaining many emacs-ish capabilities (cmd-shift-p in place of meta-x).

I don't have automatic indenting working in atom yet, the syntax package I found needs a little work, but this hasn't been a real problem as yet.

atom also plays well with git.

I'm using the following packages: emacs-plus, language-forth, clipboard-plus, disable-arrow-keys. The key and clipboard are for a more emacs like experience. There are more themes and color schemes than I need available, I'm using the 4-color-dark and minimal-syntax themes.

I would suggest Gedit and if you change the forth.lang in the app you can change the syntax highlighting
