Yes, there is. The syntax highlighting is configured by the file
configuration/syntax-patterns.txt in your Tw configuration folder. There
is a short introduction in how to use it at the top of the file. For
your case, you could use something like
red            N    \\begin\{document\}
Be sure to put it before the "# LaTeX environments" line, otherwise the
green highlighting will take precedence.

To make it even more noticeable, you could also put
white/red;B            N    \\begin\{document\}
in there. This will result in "\begin{document}" being shown bold white
on a red background.
