Personally, I've never liked color ls, largely because it's almost 
impossible to find a chart that tells you what the colors mean.  I used 
to track down where that was set and disable it, but that can get 
changed by an update.  Now, I just put the following line near the 
bottom of ~/.bashrc:

alias ls=ls

and that overrides anything done earlier.  Maybe there's something 
equivalent for this that will work for all users on prompts.
