In this video I provide an overview of how to customise the Emacs mode line colours. I show the set-face-attribute and custom-set-faces functions and explain what the difference between them is in terms of effect. I also discuss how to get a list of faces and supported colours, as well as some parts that are specific to my themes (the modus-themes in this case, though my ef-themes and standard-themes have a similar design).

Also watch how to write a custom mode line: https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2023-07-29-emacs-custom-modeline-tutorial/.
