and if you're not using GNU ls, the option for color ls may not exist,
or may be different.

in FreeBSD, the option is '-G', and the environment variable is
"LSCOLORS".

i have stuff like this in my .zshrc.

case $(uname) in
        Linux)
        LS_COLORS="di=33;4:ln=35;4:ex=31:*.rpm=32:*.gz=34:*.tar=34:*.tgz=36:*.bz 2=36:*.deb=34"
        alias ls='ls -F --color'
        export LS_COLORS
        ;;
        FreeBSD)
        LSCOLORS="3x5x2x3x1x464301060203"
        alias ls='ls -GF'
        export LS_COLORS
        ;;
        OpenBSD|NetBSD|Darwin)
        alias ls='ls -F'
        ;;
[ etc..... ]
