Description

you should be able to specify the color of the dots and pipe.

Easy solution:
* new (optional) config variables
* use `set-color256!` from [ansi-escape-sequences](http://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/5/ansi-escape-sequences#xterm-enhanced-escape-sequences) and link users to a decent online color picker with 0-255 rgb options to help them define the color they want.

Research direction

Start by locating the command-line code that renders the dots and pipe, then inspect how configuration variables are defined and how ANSI output is emitted. Implement optional color settings for both elements using the named set-color256! function, and document an RGB 0-255 color picker for users. Done means users can configure each color without breaking the default display.
