To be honest I forget whether it is "alias ls="ls --color"" or

for

alias dir="ls -lrt --color=auto"
alias ls="ls --color=auto"
alias la="ls --color=auto -a"
alias ll="ls -l --color=auto"
alias lla="ls -l --color=auto -A"
alias lss="ls"
and so forth.
It seems to be setup in the first account you make. Subsequent
accounts seem
to be pretty barren for their .bashrc. Check (ls -a) the files in
/etc/skel
for what gets put in for most new users. Now I am wondering where the
colorized stuff comes from.

Many thanks ... especially since I am unable to do any legwork at the
moment.
I am definitely going to make some changes when I get my machine back.
