I am on macOS Ventura. The shell I’m using is zsh. I have the .dircolors database in my home folder (~/.dircolors). I downloaded coreutils using Homebrew.

These are the lines I have in my ~/zprofile file. I have not placed them in my .zshrc file. export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin:${PATH}" export MANPATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnuman:${MANPATH}" export CLICOLOR=1 export CLICOLOR_FORCED ls --color=always eval "$(dircolors --bourne-shell ~/.dircolors)" d=.dircolors test -r $d && eval "$(dircolors $d)” I have tried most of the options in the eval command, but none of them seems to work for me. I would greatly appreciate if you could spot anything I am doing incorrectly or advise me other things I should be doing. Thank you.
Hmm, that's a bit strange issue. I have "alias ls='ls -laFvh --color=auto'" in my ~/.bashrc on Linux, and I have $LS_COLORS defined directly in my ~/.bashrc as well, instead of using ~/.dircolors separately, just because I wanted to have everything in a single file, plus I have some customizations applied to the $LS_COLORS contents.
Perhaps you could also try a similar setup, just to see would it work as expected in your environment.
