Yeap, I have checked on it before... checking "man dircolors" says this:

The dir_colors file contains configuration information for
the dircolors(1) program, which  in  turn  provides  color
information  for  ls(1).   This  file is normally found in
/etc, though users may maintain their own local copies  in
their home directories as .dir_colors.

I have neither an /etc/dir_colors nor ~/.dir_colors or any minor
variation.

Thanks for the idea though.
