Maybe make it ${PROMPT_COLOR:-1;32} to have a default value without
polluting the environment?

Thanks for the suggesion

Personally I think that's reasonable: however I was also being cautious in the sense of making it easy for people to opt out of the color prompt.

Also it is not really pollution: PROMPT_COLOUR is actually used for each prompt and in theory it could be changed dynamically (maybe by PROMPT_COMMAND etc, shrug?).

But if there is broad consensus wouldn't mind I guess.
