The font conventions and in particular the use of blue for program texts are part of Eiffel's style conventions. Whatever rules are applied in the descriptions of other languages are not applicable here. Thanks for respecting the specific rules for Eiffel.

:That colour and style use would demand a short note before the first code example mentioning this. Also, in the discussion following or surrounding the text, the normal <code>computer code tag</code> should be used since using blue text in caps in body text makes the article look garsish, difficult to read, unencyclopedic and deviates from the wikipedia style guide. Also, it probably won't carry to a possible printed edition. So sure, go wild with idiomatic colours in code examples but use the conventional black-in-<code>&lt;code&gt;</code> style in the text.
