Your PS1 is configured in your shell initialisation file. You can change the colours of files in .dir_colours

Re: [SOLVED] urxvt has no colors.

The proper answer is that different systems ship different defaults. Sometimes there are barely any modifications, sometimes devs/maintainers use it to personalize. Usually for common OS you can identify the system by just looking at the standard prompt.
I found a small gist that shows a selected few default configurations.

I think at some point most users either configure their own or start using some advanced ones created by others and they move some dot files to every system they use. There are many examples for useful or essential modifications like git tracking, return code visualization, package tracking (e.g. node). It is yours to modify to your needs!
