This is what burnt you:

>    setenv CLICOLOR_FORCE 1

That's an incredibly dangerous setting; whoever suggested making it
a system-wide default is an idiot.  See "man ls":

     CLICOLOR_FORCE  Color sequences are normally disabled if the output isn't
                     directed to a terminal.  This can be overridden by set-
                     ting this flag.  The TERM variable still needs to refer-
                     ence a color capable terminal however otherwise it is not
                     possible to determine which color sequences to use.
