Or, you could just "undo" the root cause of the problem...

unalias ls

and/or find the offending alias in your ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile, or /etc/profile


If you want to just turn it off temporarilly (like when you're piping output to
another process that doesn't like the added color), just invoke ls directly as
/bin/ls, or wherever `which ls` takes you.
