I'm using Sublime Text 2 and the css.scss and css.less files are in all white text - the comments, brackets, syntax - everything. If I look at my regular css files, they have color to differentiate all of the above. Has anyone else dealt with this? Is this some bug I'm getting? How could I add my own color or take the same settings from the regular css file and add it to the less and scss one's?

You can set the syntax for any specific extension. Please see this:

Open the corresponding file with .scss/.less extension. From the menu at the top, goto View > Syntax > [Optional: Open all with current extension as...] > CSS
