You might have to write your own  function crm_insert_ket by copying
c_insert_ket from cmode.sl and modifying to your needs. You can try whether
setting the various C_* variables (find them with Help>Apropos C_) helps.

I highly recomment using comments.sl for the work with comments.
There are some options for the comment_* functions in comments.sl. See the
help for set_comment_info().

These are most probabely custom color objects. Try to find the place where
they are defined. You might find something like

custom_variable("ListingSelectColor", color_number("menu_selection"));

(from listing.sl) or 

static variable color_url = "keyword";

(from email.sl).
