Your setting look like it is clearing the screen and when you use sudo it is not using your settings

Here is a cool thing to try with your .profile as well

#PS1=^[[35m`uname -n`':^[[31m${PWD}#'^[[33m
PS1=^[[35m`uname -n`^[[34m`whoami`':^[[36m${PWD}#'^[[33m
#PS1=^[[32m `uname -n`^[[34m`whoami`':^[[31m${PWD}#'^[[33m
alias ll='ls -larti'

I have this setup in my profile because it adds colors to my profile
The way to set this up is to do the following on your system as you can not just copy this config

In your home dir

tput smso >> .profile
tput rmso >> .profile

vi .profile

at the end of your profile you will find the control code for the tput settings

^[[7m ^[[33m

Depending on your setting this may look different

Split the 2 functions
^[[7m Now you can change this 7 to numbers (31 - 36 ) for different colors

^[[33m

Now using this change your PS1 to look like this
PS1=^[[35m`uname -n`^[[34m`whoami`':^[[36m${PWD}#'^[[33m

Cat .profile and see if you like

Cheers
