you could do a ls -al --color=no
I have a hard time seeing the green. I've changed the default background color in the terminal to a more friendly color also...

Sorry about the double... you can check out this page: http://sxs.thexdershome.com/housekeeping/dircolor.html

I used it a while back when the Bash I was using on a stock install didn't have the fancy colors I liked.
