So... you're talking about the colors used by "ls", yes?
If you don't want ls colors at all, you can use "ls --color=never".
You can set that up as an alias/function.
If you DO want colors, just not the ones you're currently getting, then
you need to look at the LS_COLORS environment variable.
According to ls(1), you're supposed to use dircolors(1) to generate
this variable. According to dircolors(1), you're supposed to run
"dircolors --print-database" and read its output to learn how to set
it up.
Looks pretty tedious. Have fun.
