I am trying to customize my terminal colors on my Macbook Pro. Using the Terminal app I adjusted my preferences for background color, text, and I made changes to the ANSI colors. I also specify export CLICOLOR=1 and export LSCOLORS=GxFxCxDxBxegedabagacad for the ANSI colors in my ~/.bash_profile file and then source it. When I use the ls command it lists the directories in the correct color that I wanted (blue, as seen in the picture). However, if I cd into a directory the directory path on the command line is not one of my specified ANSI colors (it's purple, as seen in the picture). Is there something else I need to make a change to in order to change that color setting to be the same blue that is used for ls? I do not know very much about bash and ANSI colors, so I apologize if I incorrectly used certain terminology.

The command line prompt does not care about LSCOLORS, its look is defined by variable PS1. To get your current PS1 value, use:
declare -p PS1
Mine looks like this (yours might differ):
declare -- PS1="\\[\\e]0;\\u@\\h:\\w\\a\\]\\[\\e[1;32m\\]\\u@\\h\\[\\e[1;34m\\] [\\w] \\\$\\[\\e[0m\\] "
To change the color of the directory part, modify the escape sequence right before [\\w], e.g. change \\[\\e[1;34m\\] to \\[\\e[1;33m\\] for yellow.
To make changes permanent, add the new PS1 setting to your .bash_profile as well.
