[SOLVED]Stupid PS1 problem

I was trying to switch to a new terminal colorscheme but I ran into a complication. Now vim and bash in urxvt display pink text everywhere. I don't know what is causing it. I think it is some bash builtin, but I'm not sure.

I'll post my .bashrc in a second.

.bashrc: http://pastebin.com/f7f1b303f

I've tried using the tput setaf command and it was ineffective. I'm starting to believe that it is a terminal emulator issue and not a bash issue. The text color in urxvt is pink while in uxterm it is white (on gray background).

[SOLVED]:

My PS1 was malformed and since it looked like goo to me, I couldn't tell. Note to self: don't use ANSI escape codes in PS1. It makes it completely unreadable for everyone.
