I use:
GREEN="\[\e[32;1m\]"
DGRAY="\[\e[1;30m\]"
VIOLET="\[\e[0;35m\]"
BWHITE="\[\e[1;37m\]"
DCOLOR="\[\e[m\]"
PS1="$GREEN\u$DGRAY@$GREEN\h:$VIOLET\w$BWHITE\$ $DCOLOR"
Which gives me:
if $PWD==$HOME:    cpcashell at crucible:~$
and
if $PWD==/tmp:    cpcashell at crucible:/tmp$
Except it's also colored.  I originally had the color codes inline,
but it was a pain to remember what color was what and where, so I
changed it to the above.
