Assuming you're running 4.1, since you didn't tell us which version of FreeBSD on your system, our 'ls' does have a color flag. Try running "ls -G", and look at the manpage for information on customizing the colors. This flag may also have been present in 4.0; I can't remember when exactly we introduced color ls.
