zsh coolnes doesn't stop there, however. this is what I use:
autoload -U colors; colors
PROMPT="%{$fg_no_bold[green]%}%n@%m %3~ %(!.#.>)%{$reset_color%} "
RPROMPT="%{$fg_no_bold[green]%}%!:%?%{$reset_color%}"
example result (actually, both sides of the prompt are green. I use
the same .zshrc with just different prompt colors on various
machines):
roman@roman ~ > cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf 122:0
roman@roman sys/i386/conf > su -m 123:0
