You can change the color of your BASH prompt to red with this command:
export PS1=”\e[0;31m[\u@\h \W]\$ \e[m”
To make the change permanent, create a .bash_profile in your home directory (if one isn’t already present):
touch ~/.bash_profile
and paste the line directly into the file. Save and close.

Why go through all that when you can just click on “Edit” and then “Current Profile” and then “colors”?

hey, that was a cool trick, here is my little addition,
Have a different colored prompt each time you login, just add it to your ~/.bashrc
#My custom colored prompt logic
random_number=`od -An -N2 -i /dev/random`
color_code=`expr $random_number % 7 + 30`
single=`expr $random_number % 2`
prompt=”$single”\;”$color_code”
export PS1=”\e[“$prompt”m[\u@\h \W]\$ \e[m”
