ls, by default, does not display colors (please stop me if I'm wrong)
ls command is an alias to ls --color (which is defined in the
bash.profile, I think, or any file in /etc/env.d)

Maybe anyone need no colored output by default and an alias for those who
want colored output?

I have the problem with my eix-sync cron job, I don't know how to disable
the garbage generated by colored output...
