Yes, as soon as you happen to type "y" or "n" you answer the questions. 
And rather later than sooner you will notice that you did. ;-)

I think the prompt colors should be the same. That will be the base for 
making them more noticeable.

Then as I said before I want them to be noticeable. The user should know 
that there Emacs is expecting some special input and that Emacs will do 
something special with that input.
