Compared to my usual > color scheme where comments are in red (Debian-patched Emacs), The comparison should be to the default now: red for the # (in Makefile) and white for the comment body. Using red for comments has been explicitly rejected here for 8 color dark background display because it make the text very hard to read. With 5 foreground colors to choose from (white, black and red exclude), there's not that much choice to afford to be too picky.
