+Syntax highlighting in PyREPL
+-----------------------------
+
+The default :term:`interactive` shell now highlights Python syntax as you
+type.  The feature is enabled by default unless the
+:envvar:`PYTHON_BASIC_REPL` environment is set or any color-disabling
+environment variables are used. See :ref:`using-on-controlling-color` for
+details.
+
+The default color theme for syntax highlighting strives for good contrast
+and uses exclusively the 4-bit VGA standard ANSI color codes for maximum
+compatibility. The theme can be customized using an experimental API
+``_colorize.set_theme()``.  This can be called interactively, as well as
+in the :envvar:`PYTHONSTARTUP` script.
