How to customize prompt color in *shell* ?

[KKramsch]

How can one change the color of the prompt in Emacs' interactive
shell?  For some reason, I'm getting a dark blue prompt over a
black background which is very hard to read (I'm running emacs
-nw).  (The commands I type at the prompt appear in light gray, so
that's OK.)

Thanks!
