You can get some basic looking colors with your prompt (in a dtterm window) doing this:

export NOEUD=`hostname`
if [[ $TERM = dtterm ]]
then
PS1="$(echo "\\033[40m\\033[33m")"'$LOGNAME'@$(hostname)"-$(echo "\\033[36m")"'$PWD'"$(echo "\\033[0m") : "
#export PS1="$(echo "\\033[40m\\033[33m")$LOGNAME@$(hostname):$(echo "\\033[0m") "
else
PS1='$LOGNAME@$NOEUD-$PWD'" : "
fi

or fooling around with output from a command (see "Color_LL" attached).

Forgot to add this file I put together some time ago. I had tried diff color changes to see what would happen. The results are in the attached file.
