You could set in your ~/.emacs_<shell> file an alias for ls that  
invokes it without colorising its output, or you can make  
~/.emacs_<shell> to un-set an environment variable that makes ls  
colorise its output.

You should invoke M-x manual-entry RET ls RET in emacs to read about  
your system's actual ls implementation, and maybe do an M-x manual- 
entry RET <your shell> RET too.


This ls output colorisation can't work, IMO, inside an usual Emacs  
shell since its TERM value is set to dumb. It might work better  
inside the more complete terminal emulation (M-x term <RET>), but  
could be you need a modern implementation of ANSI to see colours from  
ls in the running shell, i.e. GNU Emacs 22 from CVS.
