If you have a numeric keypad, press Alt+7 on numeric keypad to type a bullet in Excel.
hello Mark

Comment color is controlled by a Windows setting, not an Excel setting.

Access the Display properties dialog box (in the Windows Control Panel).
Click the Appearance tab. In the 'Item' drop-down, choose Tooltip. Then set
the color to whatever you like.
