Colourful prompt
The Bash Prompt HOWTO is a good start with this.
Debian ships with this coloured prompt:
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\
[\033[00m\]\$ '

Colour-coded ls
In your .bashrc (which on a good Debian system is included from .bash_profile), add

eval "`dircolors -b`"
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
fi

Colourful manpages (RedHat style)


In your .bashrc (which on a good Debian system is included from .bash_profile), add
# For colourful man pages (CLUG-Wiki style)

export LESS_TERMCAP_md=$'\E[01;31m'
export LESS_TERMCAP_me=$'\E[0m'
export LESS_TERMCAP_se=$'\E[0m'
export LESS_TERMCAP_so=$'\E[01;44;33m'
export LESS_TERMCAP_ue=$'\E[0m'
export LESS_TERMCAP_us=$'\E[01;32m'
