I need to be able to set my CentOS 6.4 bash prompt color to yellow.

I've managed to find where to set this (.bashrc) and the ANSI color for yellow (\e[0;33m).

I've setup my prompt as follows: PS1="[\033[33m][\u@\h \W]$ [$Color_Off]"

This all works fine when I ssh into our a system BUT when I use the local console it comes out as BROWN.

How can I modify bashrc so that its yellow regardless of weather I use SSH or the local console?

Please don't suggest I use a different color - for various reasons it would be a significant amount of effort to use a different color.

See the following links for what I mean:
