tcsh/csh: set prompt in production to color red

Hi folks

This is our prompt at the moment

Code:
oracle@pinkipinki:/opt/oracle> grep 'set prompt' .cshrc
set prompt = "$user@`uname -n`:$cwd> "

We wish to have in production the same prompt, but red.

Howto do that? I tried a lot a internet manuals, but it doesn't work.
