Bold fonts are used for emphasis. Since color is almost universally available, there are lots of options to change colors (foreground and/or background), but without conventions we can't know what a particular color means without rtfm.
And that's the main reason why I hate having the colors active by default in ls and use alias to get rid of it. I've never seen a list of the colors and their meanings, so for me it's utterly useless.
man dir_colors
I take it then, that you've never looked at the file because all of the colors are given in hex, even though the colors all have defined names. Unless you're big into computer graphics, its still utterly useless.
