Bash shell prompt colors

without comments

Here are the colors available for use in the bash shell prompt:

Black 01;30
Blue 01;34
Brown 01;33
Cyan 01;36
Green 01;32
Red 01;31
Pink 01;35
Yellow 01;33

This is my shell prompt:

PS1='\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h \[\033[01;35m\]\W \$ \[\033[00m\]'

Which produces output on the form user@computer DIRECTORY $. I use different colors for different computers/users.
