Here is my preferred DIR_COLORS. Notice the addition of SUID and SGID, these are undocumented but are necessary if you want correct behavior for files using those flags. Also, as a personal preference, I prefer not to use color coding for extensions so I comment out those lines. NORMAL 32 # global default, although everything should be something. FILE 32 # normal file DIR 01;37 # directory LINK 01;36 # symbolic link FIFO 40;33 # pipe SOCK 01;35 # socket BLK 01;34 # block device driver CHR 01;34 # character device driver ORPHAN 01;35 # orphaned syminks MISSING 01;35 # ... and the files they point to SUID 01;33 SGID 01;33 # This is for files with execute permission: EXEC 01;31
