ls -lsh script with colors not working

i want to be able to type 'v' and have it do 'ls -lsh'
(this is built into slackware)

Not sure if this is the route to take, but i made a script in /usr/bin:
#!/bin/bash
ls -lsh

is gives me the output i want without the colors, such as green for executables, blue for folders etc...

i get the colored output if i just type 'ls -lsh'

how do i get the colors?

thanks

Here's what's in my .bashrc

alias ls='ls -hFs --color'
