The Terminal aka CLI (Command Line Interface) already uses different colours to represent file types and directories. I wouldn’t want to override these colours.

However, you can change the colour of the command prompt which makes it easier to distinguish between the commands you typed and command output.

First, edit the file:

gedit ~/.bashrc

Then search for this block of text:

# uncomment for a colored prompt, if the terminal has the capability; turned
# off by default to not distract the user: the focus in a terminal window
# should be on the output of commands, not on the prompt
#force_color_prompt=yes

Remove the # in front of force_color_prompt=yes and save the file.

I’ve done this on my system and the result is eyesome (looks good).
