What colorscheme are you using as root, and is it the same as the normal
user one? (:colors) . On some systems Ansi escape sequences with the
"1" specification means bold some color (I'm thinking about some SGIs I
used to use which rendered <esc>[1;32m, which should be a bright green,
as bright yellow; in fact, no matter what the 3x color, they always
showed bright yellow with that "1"). On other systems that "1" is
needed to make ansi escapes reasonably legible (here I'm thinking of
some Windows boxes).
