xterm color (defaults to light background, dark foreground):
  /etc/DIR_COLORS.xterm

console color (defaults to dark background, light foreground):
  /etc/DIR_COLORS


In gnome-terminal I use green text on a black background.  So I simply
copy /etc/DIR_COLORS to ~/.dir_colors and then edit from there.

You can also copy DIR_COLORS to ~/.dir_colors.xterm or any other valid
value of $TERM.  (e.g. FC3 I think uses a "gnome" terminal type for
gnome-terminal.)
