The prompt color theme can be customized simply by setting
the `PROMPT_COLOR` envvar.
For example `PROMPT_COLOR='2;7'` is dim inverse-video
and `PROMPT_COLOR='1;33;53'` is bright/bold yellow with overline.
Set `prompt_color_force` to force usage/updating of color PS1:
by default it is only setup cautiously if `$TERM` ends in "color"
and PS1 is the fedora default.
