I had question like this a few days ago. See this:

But I don't think it can be done without using a syntax file. Setting it up doesn't take a lot of time. I used MS Excel autofill to generate all the M and G codes, one per row. Then I pasted them into a .syn. All the M codes went into [Keywords 1] and all the G codes went into [Keywords 2]. This way I could assign two different colors to them.

Hope this helps.
