DIR_COLORS, How to change blue to a darker blue, such as "Navy"?

[William Estrada]

Daniel,

  Your choices are very limited with respect to the color selections.
I wrote this simple program to display what colors can be used. It
will show the different 'escape sequences' that can be used.

After you have made you choose, change the 'DIR' item in /etc/DIR_COLORS.
Or add the export of LS_COLORS to your ~/.bash_profile.
