Echo area / minibuffer face?

Echo area / minibuffer face?

[David Reitter]

What is the name of the face used for the echo area? And the minibuffer?

All I could find was the minibuffer prompt face, but neither Google  
nor the reference seem to know the face(s) that I need to customize.

Thanks

I have the following line in my ~/.emacs:

 (set-face-attribute 'minibuffer-prompt nil :foreground "red" :bold t))

I think this is a new-ish face though, only found in Emacs 22, though I'm
not sure about this.

There's no such face, AFAIK.
But if you're lucky enough (like me), you're using a separate minibuffer
frame, in which case you can set the frame's `font' or foreground/background
colors.
