I haven't tested this at all, but when using double quotes, you need to at least check all the escapings, like \$ should probably be: \\\$ when used in double quotes.

>The original reason for not using colors in command substitution mode was that the prompt string length was not calculated correctly by bash and it messed up the commandline with very long commands (relative to the terminal width), when browsing the command history. However I think I've seen this effect even with the new code, but I've never dug into this.
