    Bash color output

    I can't take anymore of this grey.
    I have set PS1 to the following, which gives me a colorful prompt:
    Code:
    PS1="\[\e[01;32m\]\u:\[\e[0m\]\[\e[00;37m\] \[\e[0m\]\[\e[01;36m\]\w\[\e[0m\]\[\e[00;37m\] \[\e[0m\]\[\e[01;31m\]\$\[\e[0m\]"
    But i want colorized output.

    For instance:

    Normal output = #FFFFFF
    Errors = bright red, bold
    Warnings = bright yellow, bold
    package/application names = bold
    messages = bright blue, bold

    How can this be done?

    Things to remember :
    - Use proper english
    - Comment your code
    - Keep background information and introductions to a minimum

    Outputs are not managed by Shell but by programs themselves.
