The colours are defined in the LS_COLORS environment variable.  You can
use `dircolors -p` to see what means what.  The colours are shown as
ANSI escape sequences.  You can "see" them by printing them like this:

  $ echo -e '\e[00;36mfoo\e[0m'

where \e[...m wraps the escape sequence.

You could always use unalias (bash).

Hope this helps,
