If so, look here: > (((class color) (min-colors 8) (background light)) > (:foreground "red")) With just 8 colors, I doubt there is a better alternative. What are the standard 8 colors? I dislike red for real comments, too; it is too hard to read. On the other hand, I am not sure I would want to turn off fontification entirely for comments, even on these terminals. Turning it off for cited text in Mail and Rmail is a much smaller change with less downside, since the citation markers are still fontified. Perhaps we should have one face for comment delimiters and another for comment text. Then the comment delimiter face could be red on these terminals, while the comment text font could be default on these terminals.
