Sometimes it is annoying to look at the colored display of output by ls command. This is more evident if you use a dark color as background color of the terminal. In such cases, you can use alternative command ‘dir’ to see non-colored output. However it is difficult for one to change the commonly-used command easily. In such case, you can run the following command to make ls command to display non-colored output.

[neo@techpulp ~]# unalias ls

However the above command affect only your current shell. If you want to make this permanent, you can place the command towards the end of your ~/.bashrc file.
