Very nice. If you just take out the # before Force Color Prompt you get a color combo that most people can live with. Oh yeah, I'm using Linux Mint 19 with Mate and it works for me.

Oh Gosh! Thank you so much, Jordan! Your video really helped me. Everything had the exact same color and was very difficult to find anything.

I used to edit PS1 variable in ~/.bashrc. But now I created a program to do this, I mean, to edit terminal colors (prompt, input and output)

It worked for user command prompt, however it didnt changed the color of the root user command prompt.
