Having block quotes styled in the syntax color of comments is somewhat less than ideal. Admittedly comments are not native to Markdown, but Pandoc does support HTML style comments (in the AST as raw inline html) by default and they often get used that way. I use it along with comment plugins as part of copy editing workflow.

I don't know if there are any colors left to use, but block quotes looking a little less like they are something being left out of the party would be nice.

I agree... Actually, we could create slightly less saturated versions of the normal text highlighting using some of the functions from https://github.com/vim-pandoc/vim-pandoc-syntax/blob/master/autoload/pandoc/syntax/color.vim: we can retrieve the colors of syntax elements, and desaturate them.

That code has been there waiting for its moment to shine for almost 5 years now :p

I have been highlighting both blockquotes and notes as Special for a while. Works well for me.

The minimized syntax flavor from #331 actually drops all highlighting for block quotes (it's kept only as a hint for autoformatting).
