syntax highlighting does not work as did on Linux

[harvey-wei]

I use the same coc-settings.json and init.vim on both mac and ubuntu16.04. But the syntax highlighting results are totally different. On mac, the function name, namespace name, and variable are highlighted in the same color.

MacOS Montery 12.2.1
MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020)
Apple M1
