most cool. i'll have to study those %.this=%.that patterns and
re-scan the info docs for a fifth time. maybe a live example
like this will help it sink in. :)

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #104 from Sean Quinlan <smq@gmx.co.uk>
:
Looking to CUSTOMIZE THE COLORS USED BY LS?  I find its easier
to run "dircolors -p >~/.dircolors" and then add "eval
`dircolors -b ~/.dircolors`" to my .bashrc and then make all
changes to ~/.dircolors (instead of the system-wide
/etc/DIR_COLORS).  Probably more pertinent on a multi user
system, but good policy nevertheless.
