Personally, I've never liked color ls, largely because it's almost
impossible to find a chart that tells you what the colors mean. I used to
track down where that was set and disable it, but that can get changed by an
update. Now, I just put the following line near the bottom of ~/.bashrc:
The colours the OP is refering to is not the coloured output of ls.
That is controlled by the environment variable LS_COLORS. The OP has to
make sure his PS1 variable does not have any ANSI colour escapes. If
you are interested, take a look at my response earlier in the thread.
