You're boned.  If other text displays in color, figure out which
package contains ls and bugreport it (though I haven't been able to
reproduce this).  What exactly does it do?

If it really does work and you had color turned off or something, then
you can get it to automatically give you ls in color by

alias ls='ls --color=auto'

in your .bashrc
