10 Look into /etc/DIR_COLORS
11
12 According to these codes:
13
14 # Below are the color init strings for the basic file types. A color init
15 # string consists of one or more of the following numeric codes:
16 # Attribute codes:
17 # 00=none 01=bold 04=underscore 05=blink 07=reverse 08=concealed
18 # Text color codes:
19 # 30=black 31=red 32=green 33=yellow 34=blue 35=magenta 36=cyan 37=white
20 # Background color codes:
21 # 40=black 41=red 42=green 43=yellow 44=blue 45=magenta 46=cyan 47=white
22
23 I have
24
25 ORPHAN 01;05;37;41 # orphaned syminks
26 MISSING 01;05;37;41 # ... and the files they point to
27
28 So you probably want to change the 05 into something else or remove it.
29 Just experiment and to test it do
30
31 eval `dircolors -b /etc/DIR_COLORS`
