The colours are set in /etc/DIR_COLORS or /etc/DIR_COLORS.xterm and are imported into your shell via /etc/profile.d/colorls.sh or /etc/profile.d/colorls.csh. The non-xterm colours are brighter than the xterm ones, so if your xterm sessions seem dark you may want to delete /etc/DIR_COLORS.xterm. Michael Young
