Hi,
I use something like this (heavily inspired by Gentoo):
if [[ ${EUID} == 0 ]] ; then
PS1='\[\033[01;31m\]\h\[\033[01;34m\] \W \$\[\033[00m\] '
else
PS1='\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[01;34m\] \w \$\[\033[00m\] '
fi
One could maybe also include a check of $TERM for different terminal
types, not all of them will understand color escape sequences. And of
course tools like ls and grep do colorized output themselves when
called with appropriate options.
This is described in the PROMPTING section of Bash's manpage. I did
not find any documentation for the exact codes for ANSI color escape
sequences.
