I'm thinking the VariablePresentationHint is not being set or otherwise presented correctly.

[JustinGrote]

The colorization is determined by one of two aspects:
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/57ca9b99d5b6a59f2d2e0f082ae186559f45f1d8/src/vs/workbench/contrib/debug/browser/baseDebugView.ts#L68-L78

1. If the "type" property is literally boolean
2. If it matches a regex that is explicitly 'true' or 'false'

Since the value is presented as $true instead of true, option 2 doesn't happen, so it's likely a flaw in option 1 type assignment.

Hmmm....

[JustinGrote]

For why it works at all, this is actually a vscode bug:
microsoft/vscode#137818

To resolve, we should be providing special type strings to vscode rather than the default .NET type string
