Does it compile correctly? If it does, don't worry about it.

The colouring of code is handled by the IDE that you are using. If you would like full control of what gets highlighted and to what colour then I would recommend Indigo. It is offered free of charge with the option to donate should you find it useful ... and you will find it useful.

Early versions of the editor never had 'then' listed in the keywords file, you'll have to manually add this in yourself. To do that, navigate to the folder: C:\Program Files\Dark Basic Software\Dark Basic Professional\Editor\Keywords and open the keywords.ini file. Add this line wherever: THEN==

one thing to keep in mind though, that caused me a little problem for a little while, is that the "then" keyword should only be used if you have one statement following it.
i.e. it acts as if you had "endif" after the statement.
if you want/need multiple statements, don't use the "then" keyword at all. I found this strange myself as all other BASICs I've seen before would have the "then" keyword as mandatory for all "if" statements with manadatory "endif" statements as well. oh well.

yea endif is only needed if you're not using then. But you can have multiple statements and still use then:

if this = 1 then stuff=1:thing=2:why=3:insane=4:giveup=5
