I tried not changing colours at all. Just leave that at whatever the terminal program has chosen. Committed for people to look at. Again, just a proposal - feel free to play. Regards, Mark

My $0.02 is I like the “OVMS >” vs “OVMS #” (very clear), but the red colour doesn’t do it for me.
In fact, in general we have green for OK and red for ERROR, which is the same for the ESP_LOG messages.
So, how about leave both consoles green colour, or just plain white?

Hi Steve,
Like the new prompt, not so convinced about the color. Being color blind, it's a lot more of a nuisance than it's worth, especially when there is such a variability in displays. And, it's not like we're accessing something so highly sensitive that we need blinking fonts, warning claxons, and colored text. My $.02, keep the pound sign, leave the color the same.

At Mark's request I have implemented a change to the command prompt after switching to secure mode:
OVMS > ena Password: Secure mode OVMS #
As implemented in this commit, the color also changes from green to red, but that is only a proposal. I also looked at blue, but on my terminal it's not so distinct from black. If preferred, we can have both modes be green.
Actually, as I thought about this, I wondered whether our console welcome banner and prompt should be different from green since all the info-level log messages are green. But there are not many ANSI color choices and they don't look the same on all terminals, so we can't get carried away with this.
