I recommend to do it by writing your own colourscheme based (if you don't have a colourscheme yet) on the "default" colorscheme ($VIMRUNTIME/colors/default.vim) and including a "highlight" line for the group in question (Comment for all languages, or else cComment, htmlComment, or similar). ":highlight" with no arguments will show you all the highlightgroups currently defined.

Give your "new" colorscheme a filename ending in .vim (let's say my_own_colors.vim) and place it in one of the following directories (directory names in "Vim" notation):

   for user-private use on Windows
      ~/vimfiles/colors


   for user-private use on Unix:
      ~/.vim/colors

   for system-wide use on any platform
      $VIM/vimfiles/colors

and invoke it by means of a ":colorscheme" statement in your vimrc, in the given example:

   colorscheme my_own_colors

See
   :help :colorscheme
   :help :highlight
   :view $VIMRUNTIME/colors/default.vim


It is possible to do it "more simply", e.g. by adding "highlight" lines to your vimrc, but IMHO the above is "safer", especially if you decide to use a different colorscheme someday.

Best regards,
Tony.
