Some font/terminal/background color combinations might not like color ls
output very well. In either case try out the following

alias ls='/bin/ls --color=auto'

next try this one and do a listing 

alias ls='/bin/ls -F'

This one will put a tag after each file/directory name which will help
you identify the type of file it is.

Once you decide which one to use just add that to your .bashrc or
whatever shell rc script you are using.
