You probably get the colors from
ls
itself. You get this from invoking it asls --color
. You can either disable this alias, or you can change the colors. I find the colors useful, so I change the colors.There are defaults, but you can override these by use of the
LS_COLORS
environment variable. You can set this manually, or you can use the tool dircolors to help you.
