Are you using a custom color scheme?

You might try fiddling with Console.write_color() in console.py to see 
if you can fix this problem. My guess is that ``attr = attr & ~0x08`` in 
the ``if part == "0": # switch to default`` test is the "problem".

The real problem might be that the end of the prompt outputs "\033[0m" 
to switch back to the default color, when what it really should do is 
switch back to IPython normal output color.
