here's how I do colour in zsh:
if [ "$TERM" = "nsterm" -o "$TERM" = "rxvt" -o "$TERM" = "xterm" ] ; then
# Use window titlebar to display some information
print -Pn "\e]0;%n@%m: %~\a"
# Display the new directory when changing directories
chpwd () {print -Pn "\e]0;%n@%m: %~\a"}
PS1=`echo -n "%{\\e[33m%}%T [%?|%!]%#%{\e[0m%} "`
else
# Generate two-line command prompt
PS1=`echo -n "%{\\e[33m%}[%n@%m: %~]\r%B%T [%?|%!]%#%b%{\\e[0m%} "`
fi
Note that I use echo, since zsh only accepts certain "escaped"
characters (eg: %T) in the context of a command line, not a variable
assignment.
