Could this not be an option? Are you sure everyone wants bold paren matching faces?

Also it is worth mentioning that several popular fonts lack bold/italic variants. Other fonts (like Consolas, that I use) show little difference among bold/normal parens. And some text terminals cannot display bold/italic at all.
So IMHO this effect is nice to have, but we shouldn't rely too much on it for making text more visible than its surroundings.

I do not use this Bolding. I have removed that and more in my personal child theme, might not have pushed that particular change to (https://github.com/thomasf/dotfiles-thomasf-emacs/blob/master/emacs.d/lisp/my-solarized.el). My general advice for making the solarized accent colors easy to distinguish would be to increase the font size but that is not always practical for everyone. Also, everything is optional (hello elisp).

One thing I eventually want to have is a couple of high level profiles that mostly set the intensity level of visual cues.

@oscarfv: Consolas is a really awesome font, ihmo it is a very good decision for a programming font to bold parens only slightly. I looked through bolded parens of 5-10 fonts before removing them from the match faces, a lot of very suitable programming fonts puts too much bold on parens.

There is now a custom option called solarized-use-less-bold that also removes bold from font-lock-builtin-face which is what I have been using for a very long while.. I also added an solarized-use-more-italic for those of us that uses fonts which have a good looking italic slant.
