I'm aware of BASH's use of colors, but, I'm not always at a console that displays colors. (I've not found an Android app that will display them on my Galaxy Tab for instance.)
Besides, I think a healthy dose of paranoia is not a bad thing. If it works for you, that's great. I've found that it's not always good to rely on things like that if you have to access consoles from odd devices like mobile phones.
