If you set in your .bashrc the line alias ls='ls --color=no' there will be no color when you do an ls To customise the colors don't do the above but copy the file dircolors which is probably in /etc somewhere, place it in ~/ and call it .dircolors Edit it to what you want. Then in .bashrc set eval `dircolors -b .dircolors` I did this to get cyan colored directories instead of dark blue ones that I could never see.
