Is there a (fairly easy) way to add colour to the prompt in both colour
xterms (and the Gnome Xterm) and on the Console.

I'd like root to have a red prompt while I'm either logged on as root at the
console or su'd in an xterm. This'll help stop me doing Stoopid Stuff(TM)
like at the weekend (we won't go into it here...) again.

Any suggestions ?
