Changing comment typefaces

[fatiparty--- via Users list for the GNU Emacs text editor <help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org>]

I have the function "richkov-annotation-typeface" chat changes the colour
of comments, which I can then cycle through using a keybinding.  I also want
 to assign comments with normal weight (as I customarily use bold typefaces).

There seems to be some incompatibilities between "richkov-comment-delimiter"
and "richkov-annotation-typeface".  I could really do with some advice on structuring
 my code.


(defvar richkov-annotation-contrast 2
  "Sets the colour contrast (against background) for comments.")

(defvar richkov-annotation-chroma
  '( (dark .  ((low  . "#8600E6")  (mid  . "#AA33FF")  (high . "#C370FF")))
     (light . ((low  . "#C16BFF")  (mid  . "#AA33FF")  (high . "#8000DB"))) )
  "Colour contrast for comments, indigo on dark and light background.")

(defun richkov-comment-delimiter ()
  "Use normal weight typeface for comments."

  (set-face-attribute 'font-lock-comment-face nil
              :weight 'normal :slant 'italic)

  ;; copy typeface to font-lock-comment-delimiter-face
  (copy-face 'font-lock-comment-face 'font-lock-comment-delimiter-face)

  ;; delimiter-face inherits from font-lock-comment-face
  (if (eq 'dark (frame-parameter nil 'background-mode))

      (set-face-attribute 'font-lock-comment-delimiter-face nil
              :foreground "#00FF00")   ; for dark theme

    (set-face-attribute 'font-lock-comment-delimiter-face nil
            :foreground "#00FFFF") ))  ; for light theme
 
(defun richkov-annotation-typeface (chroma)
  "Set the foreground colour for comments.
CHROMA  Intensity Key used for setting colour of comments ."

  (message "richkov-annotation-typeface ")
  (let* ( (colors richkov-annotation-chroma)
          (levels
           (alist-get (frame-parameter nil 'background-mode) colors)) )
    
    (face-remap-add-relative 'font-lock-comment-face
       `(:foreground ,(alist-get chroma levels)))

    (message "richkov-annotation: %s contrast" chroma)) )

(defun richkov-annotation-sweep ()
   "Cycles through the colour chroma for comments.

   (interactive)

   (pcase richkov-annotation-contrast
     (1
        (richkov-annotation-typeface 'low)
        (setq richkov-annotation-contrast 2))
     (2
        (richkov-annotation-typeface 'mid)
        (setq richkov-annotation-contrast 3))
     (_
        (richkov-annotation-typeface 'high)
        (setq richerenkov-annotation-contrast 1)) ))

(defun richkov-annotation-low-contrast ()
  (when richkov-minor-mode
    (richkov-annotation-typeface 'low)))

(defun richkov-annotation-keytrigger ()
  "Key trigger for rapid execution of richkov commands"
