I think the OP meant "is there a how-to or a web page on
making 'ls' show colors?"

ls -G is the standard option, as man page says, equivalent
to setting CLICOLOR in your environment.

Some terminals (under X perhaps) don't handle this environment
variable without some tweaking, though, I think..... ??
