In ~/.emacs_bash you can set many things for a bash interpreter  
running *shell* buffer (similarly for sh, csh, tcsh, ksh, ...). The  
partial ANSI Esc code you gave looks like a reset/set normal of  
previous colour or effect setting. It might work better when you add:

    (add-hook 'shell-mode-hook (lambda ()
        (ansi-color-for-comint-mode-on)))
