Do M-x list-faces-display to see all currently defined faces, what they
are set to and an easy way to change the ones you want to be different. 

,----[ C-h f list-faces-display RET ]
| list-faces-display is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `faces.el'.
| 
| It is bound to <control down-mouse-2> <df> , <menu-bar> <edit> <props> <df> .
| 
| (list-faces-display &optional REGEXP)
| 
| List all faces, using the same sample text in each.
| The sample text is a string that comes from the variable
| `list-faces-sample-text'.
| 
| If REGEXP is non-nil, list only those faces with names matching
| this regular expression.  When called interactively with a prefix
| arg, prompt for a regular expression.
