If you want to eliminate the colouring all together, you can put this
into ~/.bashrc:

alias ll='ll --color=no'

Next time you login, that alias for ll will become part of your
environment.  Of course, you can also source that file from your current
login so that you don't have to logout/login to see the change:

source ~/.bashrc
