ls --color will always output color. ls --color=tty will only output
color when stdout is a tty.
The difference shows up when you do something like `ls --color | less`.
It's troublesome when you do something like `ls --color *jpg | xargs
ee`. In the latter case, ee will get a bunch of terminal codes as part
of the filenames, and won't be able to open any of the files that you
thought you had specified (this would probably only happen if you had ls
aliased to ls --color)
