How do I change the Linux terminal text and background color?

I know how to do it through the usual terminal emulators in the GUI. Here, I'm talking about a Linux with only the CLI. Is it possible to get something else besides black and white? What's the configuration file(s) and what do I change?How do I change the Linux terminal text and background color?
You change the PS1 variable in your Bash startup file. The link below provide help with this. My startup file is located under /home/user/.bashrc, yours could be something else like maybe .bash_profile
