Change directory color (ubuntu 12.04)

I haven't played around with changing the colors of folders and files, but have done so with the prompt.

I've used this site before: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ColorBashPrompt when working on my prompt formatting.

For folders, have a look for info on the ~/.dircolors folder and /usr/bin/dircolors executable.

My .bashrc has the color set using "–color=auto" for a few aliases. But I'm guessing there are other options.

Hope this helps a little.

Cheers,

Thanks for the reply. In the end I edited /home//.dircolors and edited the line DIR 01;33 # directory to a new color, then copied the .dircolors file into /etc/skel (and to all existing home directories) so that new users I create have the same change made. Not quite the way I wanted to fix it but the end result is the same so I guess that's a win.

At that point the link you provided was most helpful as it contains the necessary color codes.
