so, E. J. Cerejo shared this in my lifetime...

besides ls, you can compile 4 or so colors in the kernel which
makes easier to disntinguish between normal console work & kernel
messages not to mention better highlighting of man pages.

see /sys/i386/conf/LINT for more, if any, info on following 4 options:

# normal text of console
#options 	SC_NORM_ATTR="(FG_CYAN|BG_BLACK)"
#
# seen only in man ouptput, so far, for 'underlined text'
#options 	SC_NORM_REV_ATTR="(FG_YELLOW|BG_BLACK)"
#
# kernel messages
#options 	SC_KERNEL_CONS_ATTR="(FG_GREEN|BG_BLACK)"
#
# didn't see this color yet in action
#options 	SC_KERNEL_CONS_REV_ATTR="(FG_YELLOW|BG_RED)"
