That seems simple enough until you discover that you don't always have the
same background color. So it needs the background color accounted for as
well in order to guarantee adequate contrast. e.g., when on Konsole the
background is white ("\[\e[30;47;1m\]\u# \[\e[0m\]"), but on tty[1-6] the
background is black ("\[\e[37;40;1m\]\u# \[\e[0m\]"). How is that done?
