begin by understanding which module tries to paint the region you expect.
There are many different : overlays, font-lock based on classes of syntax,
font-lock based on regular expressions, etc.
You must have patience and discover which of these modules paints every
character/word from the buffer where you are interested.
Look into the elisp manual.
When you comment a line you should expect that the author of the minor/major
modes actives defined the fontification using the font lock for the
"comment" syntax class; its color is defined in font-lock-comment-face'. But
it is not sure that the commented line was fontified so.
