Not quite ...
uid 0 = root (and root only). Anybody else given "0:0"
will show up as root only !
uid 1 through 99 ... reserved for processes and daemons
these should not be used at all in
sysadmining manually.
A good paractice is to give user uid from 500 or even
1000 onwards for normal users ( some distros like Slack
does from 1000 onwards through adduser).

Put this in your .bashrc / .bash_profile
For Root :
PS1='\[\e[22m\e[40m\e[41m\]\h:\w\$\[\e[22m\e[40m\e[37m\] '
For an User:
PS1='\[\e[22m\e[40m\e[32m\]\u@\h:\w\$\[\e[22m\e[40m\e[37m\] '
