I have this on my /etc/zshenv:

if [[ $USERNAME == root ]]; then
    export PS1=$'[%n@%m] %{\e[0;35m%}[%~] %{\e[0m%}%# '
else
    export PS1=$'[%n@%m] %{\e[0;32m%}[%~] %{\e[0m%}%# '
fi

But it only sets the foreground color. You'll need to put another
escape sequence to change the background too.

regards,
