At that point it is simply bike shedding the choice of chosen colors
for the color theme. Since everyone has a different idea of what
color themes are best there isn't any objective score available. It
is purely subjective of what colors do you like better. If you want
to change the colors in emacs to the same ones used in nano then that
would make them identical. How can one rate looks? Beauty is in the
eye of the beholder. You might as well be trying to rate which
Jackson Pollock (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson_Pollock)
painting looks better than another. It is all a matter of personal
taste.
The mode help (C-h m) says:
- Comments are displayed in `font-lock-comment-face';
- Strings are displayed in `font-lock-string-face';
- Certain other expressions are displayed in other faces according to
the value of the variable `font-lock-keywords'.
To customize the faces (colors, fonts, etc.) used by Font Lock for
fontifying different parts of buffer text, use M-x customize-face.
