Emacs doesn't know that your terminal has a dark background if you
don't tell it.
Try
emacs --no-site-file -q --eval "(setq frame-background-mode 'dark)" -f shell -nw
You have a line to that effect in your .emacs.

OK, by the way
frame-background-mode's value is dark
Documentation:
*The brightness of the background.
Set this to the symbol `dark' if your background color is dark, `light' if
your background is light, or nil (default) if you want Emacs to
examine the brightness for you. Don't set this variable with `setq';
this won't have the expected effect.
The docs should show us how to set it if not with setq.
Maybe (custom-set-variables '(frame-background-mode 'dark))
Ok, say so.
Also where to obtain the results of Emacs' said evaluation should be
mentioned.

Gentlemen, I get a pleasing blue prompt when I do
$ emacs --no-site-file -q -f shell
however, with
$ emacs --no-site-file -q -f shell -nw
we're talking way too dark blue. To dark to be readable here on my
terminal where I've slightly turned the juice down 'to save the bulb',
but anyway, can't you pick a color as bright as the one when one
doesn't use -nw?
OK, now let's leave X windows, using ALT CTRL F1, here we see no
special color given to the prompt, hmm, hence no objection.
