Those are blocking questions. You can't do anything but answer them. Sooner or later, you will notice the question. That is not an argument not to make the question more noticeable, of course; it's just a response to the statement that you can't know that Emacs is asking a question. I would leave the face of minibuffer prompts and messages alone for now. Or change the color only slightly (e.g. to medium blue), and use the face consistently for all prompts. (Personally, I thought DarkBlue was fine, but I don't use black for minibuffer text.) After the release, we can always discuss whether there should be different classes of prompts, with different faces, and so on.
