Yeah, you want a better blue. On a dark terminal I like cyan instead of
blue.
Look at the file /etc/DIR_COLORS. Copy it to $HOME/.dircolors
(and make darn sure you have no $HOME/.dir_colors, courtesy of come
pretty awful coding in /etc/profile.d/colorls.sh).
You will see the code for cyan is 36. Change all the 34s into 36s.
Source /etc/profile.d/colorls.sh again, or start a new shell. Test.
Personally I just unalias ls, l, and ll in my shell startup to avoid the
colour listings forced on us by Fedora. I just have a personal script called
"l" which says:
#!/bin/sh
exec ls -aCF ${1+"$@"}
When I say "ls" I like it to mean "ls", not "annoying ls with funny
options":-)
