Vim command line color setting

Question

Is there a way to set different colors for the command line color and the "Normal" text color in vim. When I use

:hi Normal guifg=orange

the command line and the normal text color become orange. I would like the command line at the bottom of the gui to be a different color however.

Answer 1

No, not that I know of.

Not without messing with Vim's source.

The command line is under Normal highlighting group.
