It is currently defined as 1.2 height:

(defface custom-face-tag
  `((t (:weight bold :height 1.2 :inherit variable-pitch)))
  "Face used for face tags."
  :group 'custom-faces)

Could you propose a better color?

Meanwhile, I like to fix the original problem you reported
by the following patch.  It changes the appearance of
custom-face-tag to be the same as custom-variable-tag.
These option types can be still distinguished in the
Customization buffer because faces have the explicit
text "face:" appended after the face name.
