One way would be switch to IDLWAVE, which colors your prompts for you:

If you'd prefer to stick with the shell, something like:

!PROMPT='\033[1;34mIDL> \033[m'

in your IDL startup file should do it for most terminal programs.
Just replace the "\033" in the above with a real Escape character (C-q
ESC in Emacs would do that for you).
