You should probably use customize to set the value. Setting it by hand
is possible (but not advisable) in this case, but you have to pay
attention to some details. The docstring of the variable says
,----
| This is a list of cons cells, with priority character in the car
| and faces in the cdr. The face can be a symbol, a color as
| as a string, or a property list of attributes, like
| (:foreground "blue" :weight bold :underline t).
`----
so you need to set it with something like this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-priority-faces '((?A . (:foreground "red" :weight "bold"))
(?B . (:foreground "yellow"))
(?C . (:foreground "green"))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
