/color

Sets the prompt bar color for the current session.

Sets the prompt bar color for the current session. Colors: red, blue, green, yellow, purple, orange, pink, cyan. 'default' resets it, no argument picks a random color. Synced to claude.ai/code under Remote Control. Also usable non-interactively (-p), requires v2.1.205+.

✅ WHEN TO USE IT?

Make several parallel sessions visually distinguishable

/color blue in session A, /color green in session B

Quickly set a random color for the current session

/color with no argument

⛔ WHEN NOT TO?

Expecting the color to persist for all future sessions

/color only sets the color for the current session

Better: set it again at the start of each session, or configure /statusline for a persistently visible distinguishing marker
