For output of ls command

Add the following line of code in your .bashrc file 

export LS_COLORS='rs=0:di=01;34:ln=01;36:mh=00:pi=40;33:so=01;35:do=01;35:bd=40;33;01:cd=40;33;01:or=40;31;01:mi=00:su=37;41:sg=30;43:ca=30;41:tw=30;42:ow=34;42:st=37;44:ex=01;32:*.'

LS_COLORS is an environment variable for the command ls. The line above sets the color scheme for different file types. For example, "of" represents the directory and "1;35" represents the color code of the directory. Similarly, "ex" represents the executable and "01;32" represents the color code of the executable.
