Question escape sequence for changing color of prompt

I remember reading in some tutorial about bash that if you use escape sequence in PS1 variable you can change the color of the prompt.

I remember it were something like: \[012 or something

But i can find were i read it anymore...
Can anyone point me in how to accomplish that?
