The docs for dircolor show:

  dircolor --print-database

Where you can find:

# Text color codes:
# 30=black 31=red 32=green 33=yellow 34=blue 35=magenta 36=cyan 37=white
# Background color codes:
# 40=black 41=red 42=green 43=yellow 44=blue 45=magenta 46=cyan 47=white

But those colors are themselves controlled by XTerm X11 resources.
Check out /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm for more color controls.
The whole subject of color control for terminals is very confusing.
