RawUI colours

I'm working an updated profile.ps1 and want to manage the colours
better.

I currently do this:

$host.ui.rawui.WindowTitle = "PowerShell Rocks!!!"
$host.ui.rawui.backgroundcolor="white"
$host.ui.rawui.foregroundcolor="darkblue"

However, I can't see the properties to enable me to change the colours
for the warning and error lines.

$Host.UI.WriteErrorLine("Foobar") for example writes red text on a black
background. Meanwhile $Host.UI.WriteWarningLine("Foobar") writes with
black bakground and yellow text.

How do I set the colours for warning and error lines?

Also, I note that the two functions differ in another way. If I run
them, I see:

PSH [D:\foo]: $HOST.UI.WRITEerrorline("Foobar")
Foobar
PSH [D:\foo]: $HOST.UI.WRITEwarningline("Foobar")
WARNING: Foobar

Note that the latter prepends "WARNING:" to the line. This behaviour is
inconsistent.

Seems to me that either WriteErrorLine to should add "ERROR" or
WriteWarningLine should not have the "WARNING:" at the front. If adding
"warning" or "error" is important, then provide a global Variable (e.g.
$WarningTextStart) to define it.
