Changing colour face for mode-line-buffer-identification

[Heime]

How can I change the colour face with which the buffer name is displayed ?

  (setq-default mode-line-buffer-identification
    (list wmax (propertized-buffer-identification
                 (format " %%%db " wmin))))

Use faces.  `propertized-buffer-identification' already uses one.  Just
use a different face.

I know about faces, but how do I include a different face to 
propertized-buffer-identification.  Or is the face to be applied  
from another function ?

Calling `propertized-buffer-identification' returns a one-element list
containing the propertized string.  `propertize' that string again to
change the face.

Unless the face should depend on the buffer or mode.  This would be a
different situation.

Have done this before but got an error

I had said that you `propertize' the string.  Not the list of course.
You can't add text properties to a list.
