The example "prompt at the bottom of the screen" that you quoted appears to be from the msglist.js module. That particular prompt from that script is using "mnemonics" which get their color values from the ctrl/attr.ini file (or attr.cfg in older versions of Synchronet) file. So you want to change these lines in that file:
mnehigh           = WH                                  ; Mnemonic Prompts High
mnelow            = G                                   ; Mnemonic Prompts Low
mnecmd            = WH                                  ; Mnemonic Commands

e.g. change the G to M and the WH to MH. For a list of what those letters mean, see https://wiki.synchro.net/custom:ctrl-a_codes
