Read about text properties and faces in the elisp manual. I would also recommend looking through source code and learning from that. Here is a version of your function that uses propertize to set the face property. But you should use an existing face or define your own, so that it can be customized. (defun pppp () "hallo" (interactive) (message "hallo %s minibuffer" (propertize "from" 'face '(:foreground "red"))))
