The title is pretty self explanatory.

I would like to change the comment colour from black to green in lua-mode.

I’ve tried putting this into .emacs
(set-face-foreground ‘font-lock-string-face “red”)

But it didn’t work. Any ideas?

    If you put the cursor in the comment, and type M-x customize-face RET, it will offer to customize the correct face automatically (in this case font-lock-comment-face as Rupert mentioned). This gives you a nice way to play around with different changes to the face (to get exactly the right color etc.) and then save it to your .emacs. This is the easiest way to find out any face that you want to change.
