In the man for bash you may find how to set things like
hostname or username in PS. For the colors, IIRC you should
read a description of the terminal. one example is the linux-
manpage console_codes (section 4 I think).
I dont have it here (so I may wrong) , but try looking for the
mode-commands: "<CSI> some_magic_numbers <m>"
Just tried it:
echo -e "\033[34m test" gives a blue "test" , 33 gives yellow.
