From the manpage of ls(1), you can read:
CLICOLOR Use ANSI color sequences to distinguish file types.
See LSCOLORS below. In addition to the file types
mentioned in the -F option some extra attributes
(setuid bit set, etc.) are also displayed. The
colorization is dependent on a terminal type with the
proper termcap(5) capabilities. The default
``cons25'' console has the proper capabilities, but to
display the colors in an xterm(1), for example, the
TERM variable must be set to ``xterm-color''. Other
terminal types may require similar adjustments.
Colorization is silently disabled if the output isn't
directed to a terminal unless the CLICOLOR_FORCE
variable is defined.
Pay attention to those last three lines. Then read the description of
the -C option of FreeBSD's ls(1) command.
You could probably have found what you needed with a bit of research
in the manpages :-)
