Colouring commands on terminal to be green

[lisa-asket]

Chill out.  I like colour in my life and a lot of work does not scare me.



There exist some serious metrics defined in WCAG.  I like to have contrast 
between

system-user name, working directory, and user commands.



Actually you cannot choose colours that look good on both. Got to have separate 
settings.

If accessibility is the primary concern, the number of colors should be
reduced as far as possible. Black and white.

Here is my PS1:

There's a space at the end. Yes, that's the whole thing. All that rainbow
vomit crap that seems to be fashionable just gets in my way, and is ugly
as hell. And then you also have to worry about whether your terminal has
a white background or a black background, and try to choose colors that
look good on both... it's a lot of work for results that ultimately suck.
