How about:
PS1='\[\033[40;31m\]pwd: \[\033[40;33m\]\w \[\033[40;37m\]\n\u@\H\$ '
I'll repeat my conclusion: leave it as PS1="\\$ " and provide a
customization app for sysadmins to edit /etc/profile and another for
users to edit ~/.bash_profile (and other dotfiles too, of course) and
keep the installation's paws away from customizations that EVERYBODY
has a different opinion about.
