Hi.

I know I=E2=80=99m 30 years too late, but what the heck.

There should be standard named colors for
  prompt
  echoed stdin
  stdout
  stderr

Shells and other interactive programs and terminal emulators could be =
modified to use these named colors. The color name =E2=80=9Cbold=E2=80=9D =
is not adequate.

Thanks
