The standard /etc/profile is
cat <<HERE
PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:$PATH"

USER="`id -un`"

# Set up USER's home directory
if [ -z "$HOME" ]; then
  HOME="/home/$USER"
fi

if [ ! -d "$HOME" ]; then
  mkdir -p "$HOME"
fi

export HOME USER

for i in /etc/profile.d/*.sh ; do
  if [ -f $i ]; then
    . $i
  fi
done

export MAKE_MODE=unix
export PS1='\[\033]0;\w\007
\033[32m\]\u@\h \[\033[33m\w\033[0m\]
$ '

cd "$HOME"

test -f ./.bashrc && . ./.bashrc
HERE

Your colors come from the PS1= line,
In your own $HOME/.bashrc, you can over-ride PS1 to your own choice.
See man bash, and search for PROMPTING.

test -f ./.bashrc && . ./.bashrc
