fix: Make new comment indicator easier to distinguish

[jsit]

Description

The "(2 new)" comments indicator is too hard to miss now that it's just gray. This changes that.

I recall before we used the dull color, we colored the font instead of giving it a background. Maybe try that instead while keeping the italic?

How about this:

Which theme color is that? I was thinking of using the info color.

That's "danger" -- "info" feels semantically correct, but because we're using these theme colors more or less arbitrarily, it leads to some potentially confusing clashes:

It looks like the UI used to use text-warning:

<span className="small text-warning">
    ({this.unreadCount} {i18n.t("new")})
</span>

This one I'm not a fan of. We had it as a badge color, but it just looks so much better as the same muted color as the comment count. It just needs emphasized in some way (either via italics like it was), or some other font emphasis.

[jsit]

@dessalines Thanks for weighing in. Two different options:

I'll go with the majority, but my vote would be for the original, simple italics:

I also like the idea of minimizing colors except for user and community names. And using default or muted colors for everything else. Even the featured title could be done just with a different font emphasis or style.

I don't feel strongly about this either. Would be fine with closing this.
