The Octave interpreter doesn't colourise its terminal output. We would
need to do some patching to produce colourised Octave output.

However, you can at least define your own colourised prompt if you
want. This is what I have in my .octaverc:

    PS1( "\\[\\033[01;36m\\]\\s:\\#> \\[\\033[0m\\]" )

This gives me a pleasantly blue that is somewhat close to Octave's
logo. It depends n using a terminal that understands ANSI colours. I
have added this suggestion to the PS1 docstring ("help PS1").
