The documentation doesn't say that it should work. Notice: "The style feature is still in testing stage."

However, I think the correct syntax should be

note left of A::B <<faint>>

but that throws an error with PlantUML version 1.2022.13beta7

"note left of A <<faint>>" produces a diagram, but the note background isn't red.

Hello C., P., and all,

FYI: this now works with the last version (V1.2022.13).

Here is an example:

@startuml
<style>
    note {
        .faint {
            BackgroundColor red
        }
    }
</style>

class A
{
   B()
}
note left of A::"B()" <<faint>>
 test red
end note

Enjoy,
Thanks to PlantUML team. yes
Regards.
