I set a different PS1 for each user, making root red and other users green. Also, I give user, hostname and path a different color to make them distinguishable:
See "Bash Prompt HOWTO: Colors", "Bash Prompt HOWTO: Nonprinting Characters" and the "PROMPTING" part of man bash on how to do that.
In the current version of gnome-terminal you can't change background and color when starting a new terminal
It used to be with these options: --background <color> and --foreground <color>
Now you can start your terminal specifying the profile:
gnome-terminal --window-with-profile <your profile>You can also edit the current profile using gconftool. for instance, to edit colors of the Default profile:
gconftool-2 --set "/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/foreground_color" --type string "#EEEEEEEEECEC"
gconftool-2 --set "/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/background_color" --type string "#000000000000"

Right click on terminal screen, then "Profiles" - "Profile preferences" - "color" - "background color".
