           Summary: make root prompt easy to restore to color used by normal
                    users (not red)

Root prompt foreground color was recently changed to some kind of red. In my
Konsole with white background the red color has insufficient contrast with the
background for me to read the prompt content without eyestrain. Likewise on my
VCs where I have the background set to blue and the foreground set to bright
white via setterm in /root/.bashrc, my foreground color is ignored, leaving me
with a red foreground that is hard to read on my blue background. It would seem
that exporting PS1 in .bashrc with the preferred color scheme should work, but
the one liners I tried either get it right on the VCs or on the Konsole but not
both, as their background colors are nearly opposite, dictating entirely
different foreground colors, like the system handled nicely by default before
the change to red. The setterm colors should be honored in the VCs, and in
Konsole the schema should also be obeyed, at least via some easy to find and
use preference setting, if not by default.
