(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.

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