I run xfce-console with five tabs open; two logged-in as user, the sprompts are
black; one logged in as root, the prompt is red; two others logged in as root
on remote boxes, their prompts are green and blue.
It is simple enough to change PS1='\n\[\033[1;34m\]\u@\h:\w \$ \[\033[0m\]' in
the various .ashrc to the colour you want/need.
Been using that for years, never had a problem.
Cheers,
Ron.
