Shouldn't blue be the default for Fedora?

(In some palettes the visibility of cyan text on white background is really poor
and similarly blue text is often hard to make out on black background.)

We could try PROMPT_COLOR='46' which would give us a prompt with cyan background.
Background prompt color actually achieves better contrast and stands out more I feel:

It has the advantage of not looking like colored text output by some commands:
e.g. dnf may print packages in green. I personally use a prompt background color
for good contrast.

And I think that dark as well as light color schemes should be
considered. IOW I appreciate the screenshot attached above, but could
you also attach one with the light scheme? Thx a lot.

Okay, I have added a link to a light gnome-terminal screenshot too on the page.
