These are two different ls's and two different man pages.

The one you are talking about is the ls(1) program in FreeBSD, while the 
other one is the ls-F builtin in tcsh, documented in the tcsh(1) man page.
The poster suggested to setup ls as an alias for ls-F when using tcsh as 
the latter supports a wide range of colour-option while being faster than 
ls(1). ls(1) uses $LSCOLOR while ls-F uses $LS_COLOR. These have different 
syntax.

It is also possible to use the GNU ls(1) which has a third way of defining 
its colorization.
