mostly i am using bash and if you dont know about change color on prompt take a look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Color_Bash_Prompt

my PS1 for user is

and for root is

PS1='\[\e[1;31m\]\W \$>>\[\e[0m\] '

[gnuuser]

amusing
back when i was using dos we could change the prompt by using this command
$p$g=
you could type anything you wanted
my prompt message was I'M READY TO TAKE OVER YOUR MIND HUMAN!
it was amusing to see peoples reaction when they saw that.
