ls --color lists 'ordinary' files as white, for example

% ls --color foo | od -t a
0000000 esc   [   0   m esc   [   0   m   f   o   o esc   [   0   m  nl
0000020 esc   [   m
0000023

I think it would be better for plain files to not have any ANSI escape
sequences around them, and for colouring to apply only to directories,
*.gz and so on.  Unless the user has explicitly requested something for
'all other files' in his dircolors list.

Shall I send a patch for this?
