Have a look at the page you mentioned above and you'll
easily find the answer, especially if you consult the
section

	http://understudy.net/custom.html#color_prompts

and then scroll down to "TC Shells" - keep in mind that
FreeBSD's C shell is a TC shell (/bin/csh and /bin/tcsh
are the same program).

I've tried the example (on FreeBSD 7) from the web page
you mentioned and found that

	set prompt = "%{\033[31m%}[%{\033[0m%}%B%n@%m:%~%b%{\033[31m%}]%{\033[0m%}%# "

works as intended. %{\033[31m%} switches red color on, and
%B/%b applies bold face for the text inside the brackets.

In the section

	http://understudy.net/custom.html#table2

you'll find a reference for the other colors "programming
codes". You could, for example, use a different color for
root and nonroot shells, or change color depending on specific
shell accounts on your system.

You can also use other attributes like %S/%s for standout
(here: inverse) mode, or %U/%u for underline mode. However,
not every terminal (emulator) is capable of displaying them
as intended, for example the text mode console cannot do
unterlining, vt100 can do blinking _and_ underlining, but
can't do colors, xterm can do underlining, but _not_ blinking,
but can do colors... and so on.
