Try this:

(fset 'message-plain (symbol-function 'message))

(defun message-colored (fmt-string &rest args)
  (message-plain 
   (propertize
    (apply 'format fmt-string args)
    'face 'font-lock-comment-face)))

(fset 'message 'message-colored)

You will see that the messages appear in comment face.
