(read-from-minibuffer "Question? ") C-x C-e C-b C-b C-b M-x customize-face RET
doesn't give a specific face.

(read-from-minibuffer "Question? ") C-x C-e C-b C-b C-b M-: (face-at-point) RET
indicates it's the default face that's used.

Therefore you could advice read-from-minibuffer to temporarily modify
the default face and set it to orange, and reset it when done (use 
unwind-protect).
