    eval `dircolors -b`

    has always been what has worked for me:

    [n6tadam@station n6tadam]$ unset LS_COLORS
    [n6tadam@station n6tadam]$ eval $(dircolors -b)
    [n6tadam@station n6tadam]$ echo $LS_COLORS

    [..output snipped..]

    You can uncomment the use of "eval `dircolors -b`" in ~/.bashrc
