Hello everyone,
I recently started using emacs for my C++ development and I have a
question about customizing the colours.
I want to customize the code documentation to show up in purple. So
anything in between (// and /**) should show up in the specified
colour.
Does anyone know which emacs variable do I need to set in my .emacs
file for this to work?
Appreciate any help you can give me.
Many thanks,
Luca

I assume you already have font-locking (syntax-highlighting) enabled?
Anyway, this should do the trick (put in your .emacs):
(set-face-foreground 'font-lock-comment-face "purple")
This is *global*, so will also affect the way comments are shown in other
modes.
If you want to customize many more of the colors, it might be worthwhile to
define your own color theme; I blogged about that:

Best wishes,
Dirk.

Position the text cursor in such a comment and type C-u C-x =. In the
*Help* window you'll a description, including that of the face. Click
on that description and continue to start customising.

If one is just interested in the face one of these will also do:
M-x describe-face
M-x customize-face
By default they will offer the face the cursor is currently on.
