Look into /etc/DIR_COLORS According to these codes: # Below are the color init strings for the basic file types. A color init # string consists of one or more of the following numeric codes: # Attribute codes: # 00=none 01=bold 04=underscore 05=blink 07=reverse 08=concealed # 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 I have ORPHAN 01;05;37;41 # orphaned syminks MISSING 01;05;37;41 # ... and the files they point to So you probably want to change the 05 into something else or remove it. Just experiment and to test it do eval `dircolors -b /etc/DIR_COLORS`
