I'm attaching an image of a prompt with yellow, my default, and a
prompt with green using Jens' prompt suggestion.  I find the green too
bright, I would prefer it with a little more black in it.  But I would
just override it anyway.

A long time ago I had a monochrome crt that defaulted to a sort of burnt
orange which also worked fine.
