To fix the dir colour in the bash prompt, not just the LS output, set this in .bashrc:

1if [ "$color_prompt" = yes ]; then
2#PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34\[\033[00m\]\$ '
3PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;35m\]\u\[\033[01;31m\]@\[\033[01;32m\]\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;35m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '
4else
5PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ '
