title: Can I change the input color of my Bash prompt to something different than the terminal default?
body: <p>My default terminal color is gray, and that's fine.</p>
  <p>My Bash prompt displays a bunch of colors, and this works fine:</p>
  <pre><code>PS1=&quot;${COLOR_RED}\u${COLOR_WHITE}@${COLOR_RED}${COMPUTERNAME} ${COLOR_BLUE}\w${GITPROMPT} ${COLOR_RESET}&quot;
  </code></pre>
  <p>But the text I type in, at the end of the prompt, is gray. I want it to be white (ANSI code &quot;[37m&quot;).</p>
  <p>If I add a COLOR_WHITE at the end of the prompt, instead of the COLOR_RESET, then the default terminal color changes to white until it is reset. This makes a weird effect of some gray text, with some white text bleeding through at the top.</p>
  <p>How can I change the &quot;input text&quot; color of the Bash prompt, to something other than the terminal default color?</p>
