  Well, if you want all users to have colorful bash, it should be
somewhere in /etc/.  The comments in /etc/profile say...
# Newer bash ebuilds include /etc/bash/bashrc which will setup PS1
# including color.  We leave out color here because not all
# terminals support it.

  /etc/bashrc is where you set bash to be colorful.

  vim is a separate app, and has its own config file.  You want
"color on" (without the quotes) in /etc/vim/vimrc.

  Individual users can always override locally.
