I'm pretty sure those are in /etc, not /etc/dnf.  If they're
in the latter, can you confirm that and check what package
provides them (rpm -qf /etc/dnf/DIR_COLORS*)?  I don't see
anything providing them.

Assuming you really meant /etc/DIR_COLORS*, then to be
clear, 1) that will affect ls rather than dnf; and 2) you
_are_ most likely editing the wrong file if you edit
/etc/DIR_COLORS.

The logic for which of the 3 files is used is in
/etc/profile.d/colorls.sh (for bourne-style shells like
bash).  Most modern terminal support 256 colors (at least),
so they'll most likely use /etc/DIR_COLORS.256color.

After you edit it, you must source /etc/profile.d/colorls.sh
to pick up the changes.

You can also copy the proper DIR_COLORS* file to your home
dir to avoid having a clean install overwrite your changes
in /etc.  The paths which the colorls.sh script uses are:

    $HOME/.dir_colors.$TERM
    $HOME/.dircolors.$TERM
    $HOME/.dir_colors
    $HOME/.dircolors

The first one found is used.
