These features, and several other places that use colour, are not
implemented using font-lock, so toggling global-font-lock-mode has no
effect. In this specific case, you can set ido-use-faces and customize
the minibuffer-prompt face.

AFAIK there is no simple way to say "give me an entirely monochromatic
Emacs".
