I agree that some different colors might be more noticeable, but it
don't seem to be much more so, IMO. Check out the attached screenshots
for an example from emacs -q, where I customized the prompt face
manually on one of them.

What I believe catch my attention more than the change in color is the
blinking prompt. I think that if the whole minibuffer changed
background color, then it might work. Might. One have to play with
overlays (or The Gimp) to know for sure.

Hmm, how about those elephants... :)
