My current shell prompt in emacs shows as...

In GNU Emacs 22 you can invoke

        ansi-color-for-comint-mode-on

to make *shell* buffer interpret certain ANSI Esc sequences (you can also put into an init file). You can use a file ~/.emacs_<shell interpreter's name> to adjust some settings for *shell* buffer. You would need to use that shell interpreter's syntax. For example, if your login shell is bash and you put

        PS1="$ "

into ~/.emacs_bash than you'll have a much shorter and monochrome prompt ...
