I wanted to start using folding without having to get used to seeing the (default) markers, aka {{{ and }}}. So, here are two autocmds that will make them fade to black (bg=black, fg=black). Alternatively, you could use the Ignore highlighting group.
Method 1:
au BufRead,BufNewfile * syn match fmrkr '"*{{{\|"*}}}' |
\ syn cluster vimCommentGroup contains=fmrkr |
\ hi fmrkr term=NONE guibg=black guifg=black
\ ctermbg=black ctermfg=black
Method 2:
au BufRead,BufNewfile * syn match fmrkr '"*{{{\|"*}}}'
\ containedin=vimLineComment contained |
\ hi fmrkr term=NONE guibg=black guifg=black
\ ctermbg=black ctermfg=black
Both methods accomplish the same thing, but in a different way. Simply pick one and see those annoying markers fade away.
I just tried it out with Vim files, but you can easily modify it for any other filetypes.

TO DO
It might be better to:
- Use add= instead of contains= for the syn cluster
- Use Syntax autocmd event instead of BufRead,BufNewfile for both methods
- With the above, make it trigger only for the correct language (e.g. autocmd Syntax vim ...)
- Would also like to see that the color selected was the current background color not just black (if I understand things)
