Thanks everyone for the respond... yet I'm still looking for the answer
that I want -- the fact is I have no problem showing colors using ls. Just
need to distinguish bad symbolic link from good ones. 

Ok, let's take a look at an example:

touch a
ln -s a l1
ln -s no l2
rm no

ls --color=auto

Do l1 and l2 show up in same color? 

In my Debian, they are, but in my RH, l2 show up red.
