Hmm... I got 99. The red line is there 14 times with full color change + 1 extra line. Each time it's 7 colors, so 99. I double-checked.

If in doubt look at the code:

const MAX_COMMENT_DEPTH_LIMIT: usize = 100;

I Guess that is the answer

128 = 2^7; powers of 2 show up a lot in computing. Looks like it's 100 though per the below comment.
