Issue Description

After enabling ms-vscode.powershell extension the default dark color scheme shows different (not as good) colors.
When I disable the extension it works as expected.
Also when I execute Restart current [PowerShell] session, while its restarting it shows expected colors. Once restarted, the colors are "broken" again.

Screenshots

Expected Behavior

-Path displayed in white color.
$destination displayed in blue color.

Actual Behavior

-Path displayed in blue color.
$destination displayed in blue color.

This is due to a change in the extension to use "semantic highlighting" in addition to (and on top of) the editor syntax provided by this repo. With the extension enabled, the highlighting scheme changes (and it appears to need some work). See some related discussion here: #3211

As a workaround, You can add next section to settings.json

  "editor.semanticTokenColorCustomizations": {
    "[Default Dark+]": {
      "rules": {
          // make it different from variable
        "parameter": "#d4d4d4"
      }
    }
  },
