Colourising emphasized text in org-mode

Colourising emphasized text in org-mode

[fatiparty--- via Users list for the GNU Emacs text editor]

I want to colourise emphasized text in org-mode.  Am using the following code, but it is not taking effect.

(defface my-org-emphasis-bold
  '((default :inherit bold)
    (((class color) (min-colors 88) (background light))
     :foreground "#a60000")
    (((class color) (min-colors 88) (background dark))
     :foreground "#ff8059"))
  "My bold emphasis for Org.")

(setq org-emphasis-alist
      '(("*" my-org-emphasis-bold)
    ("/" italic)
    ("_" underline)
    ("=" org-verbatim verbatim)
    ("~" org-code verbatim)
    ("+" (:strike-through t))))

For italic, underline, etc I still want to use italic, underline etc, with the addition
of colouring.  Is there a neat way to do it?  At this moment I am inheriting the bold,
italic, underline attribute using a function for each.

Did you follow the "You need to reload Org or to restart Emacs after
customizing this." hint in the `org-emphasis-alist' docstring?

I followed through and can now see the colouring.  What would I have to do in order
to colourise 

("=" org-verbatim verbatim)
("~" org-code verbatim)
("+" (:strike-through t))))
For bold, italic and underline, I am using

(defface my-emphasis-bold
  '((default :inherit bold)
    (((class color) (min-colors 88) (background light))
     :foreground "#a60000")
    (((class color) (min-colors 88) (background dark))
     :foreground "#ff8059"))
  "My bold emphasis for Org.")

(defface my-emphasis-italic
  '((default :inherit italic)
    (((class color) (min-colors 88) (background light))
     :foreground "#a60000")
    (((class color) (min-colors 88) (background dark))
     :foreground "#ff8059"))
  "My underline emphasis for Org.")

(defface my-emphasis-underline
  '((default :inherit underline)
    (((class color) (min-colors 88) (background light))
     :foreground "#a60000")
    (((class color) (min-colors 88) (background dark))
     :foreground "#ff8059"))
  "My underline emphasis for Org.")

(setq org-emphasis-alist
      '(("*" my-emphasis-bold)
    ("/" my-emphasis-italic)
    ("_" my-emphasis-underline)
    ("=" org-verbatim verbatim)
    ("~" org-code verbatim)
    ("+" (:strike-through t))))

I don't see any place in the org source code where the third list
element (`verbatim`) is used.  I suggest to keep it and specify your
face in the second position as in the other entries.

(:strike-through t) is an anonymous face spec.  Nothing special with
that - put a face name or anonymous face spec there as in the other
entries.
