The colors which you are thinking of have nothing to do with the kernel.
It's a function of 'ls'.

You might set it up like this (in ~/.bashrc, probably):

    eval `dircolors ~/.dir_colors`
    alias ls='ls --color=auto '

...that's assuming that you have set up a color database in the file
~/.dir_colors. To use the precompiled database, remove this filename.

For more info:

man dircolors
info dircolors
man ls
man bash
