Unfortunately, nothing happened.

Being a LISP ignoramus, I tried C-x C-e after each of the parentheses or
brackets. Starting at end (after "...))))" I got "nil", then simply an
echo of the string, then / is invalid function, then } is void variable.
Sorry.

I don't understand what you want. I tied replacing 'latex-mode with
'(latex-mode) to no avail.

Given my setup, this runs spell check, and the key values in
\citeNP{key} naturlly turn red as the result. When the cursor hits
them,the red turns off, but I return to black foreground color for the
{key} value, not the forest green I wanted.

Toggling M-x font-lock-mode didn't help any more than toggling M-x
latex-mode. 

I tried:

  (add-hook 'latex-mode
     (lambda ()
      (font-lock-add-keywords nil
        '(("citeNP\{\\(.*\\)\}" (1 'font-lock-constant-face))))))

and didn't do any better with it. I changed to constant-face because
my comment-face with command package is black foreground.
