Colors for different priorities in Org mode

Question

I have configured Org mode with a face attribute for priorities with these lines in my init.el:

(set-face-attribute 'org-priority nil
                    :foreground "aquamarine1"
                    :background "black"
                    :inherit font-lock-keyword-face
                    :inverse-video t
                    :box '(:line-width 2
                           :color "orange"
                           :style released-button))

But I'm wondering if there is a way to set different colors for priorities #A, #B & #C.

Answer 1

You can customize org-priority-faces to give specific attributes for each priority.

---

From C-h v org-priority-faces,

Documentation:
Faces for specific Priorities.
This is a list of cons cells, with priority character in the car and faces in the cdr. The face can be a symbol, a color as as a string, or a property list of attributes, like
(:foreground "blue" :weight bold :underline t).
If it is a color string, the variable org-faces-easy-properties determines if it is a foreground or a background color.

Edit:

For example, this is my current setup:

'((65 :foreground "red" :background "yellow")
  (66 :foreground "black" :background "yellow")
  (67 . "blue"))

The numbers 65, etc. correspond to the priority letters (ASCII 65 for A, etc.).

This is most easily configured using the customize-variable interface.

Answer 2

Here a example of customization

(setq org-priority-faces '((?A . (:foreground "red" :weight 'bold))
                           (?B . (:foreground "yellow"))
                           (?C . (:foreground "green"))))
