He said 0.5 is too long, I tried 0.1, and find it too short to be noticed,
so I tried 0.25, which seems okay from my point of view.

It's just a quick proof of concept, perhaps it's possible to do something
better, I'll try to do that if there's an agreement that it's a good
starting point. That being said, I'd be surprised if you can move your
eye from point to the echo area in less than 0.25 seconds. What you
describe is annoying only if you already look at the echo area to see the
error.

FWIW, I'm not sure it's right to do that, it might interfere with packages
which use the mode-line in exotic ways. Moreover what's the point of
changing the color of the mode-line? It's distracting, what the user
should be invited to look at at that moment is the echo area, where the
error message is (about to be) displayed.
