Is it possible to customize Terminator's prompt / hostname (user@domain) colors?

So far I have not seen anything on customizing the Terminator "prompt" colors.

I know it is possible through ~/.bashrc but this is overridden by Terminator. Is there a way to either customize Terminator's colors further or force it to use customized bashrc colors?

If neither of these are possible, can I at least bold it? The reason is to make each user execution clearly standout when outputs are lengthy.

Open ~/.bashrc and uncomment

#force_color_prompt=yes

by removing the hash:

force_color_prompt=yes

The colors should appear then.

Note: don't forget to source ~/.bashrc or restart your terminal.
