text color use for normal user and root user
from the question section: https://answers.launchpad.net/pantheon-terminal/+question/274025
give the terminals which are logged on in root user change the text color (red is suggested by the question) This can also be extended to when there is "sudo " present in the text to change it to a color.
The question also states that normal terminals text also should get a color (green is suggested by the question) to have the good and bad difference visible.

#Similarly, i already use a red color for the terminals started by root
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
