Custom Comment Brightness
This customization allows to define a custom comment color brightness with percentage adjustments from 0 - 20. It is a way to provide a way for users to easily adjust the comment color to fit their needs without overriding specific faces individually.
It can be enabled by adding the nord-comment-brightness variable to a number between 1 and 20 in your init.el:
(setq nord-comment-brightness 15)To adhere to the Nord style guide this option uses nord3 by default and applied as fallback when the variable is assigned a invalid value.
This customization is a port of the reference implementation from the Nord Atom Syntax project. The values are calculated using the LESSCSS lighten function to ensure full interoperability with other port projects that providing this theme feature.
