I have some lines in my .bashrc:

$ cat .bashrc | grep color
alias dir='dir -FN --color=auto --show-control-chars'
alias ls='ls -FN --color=auto --show-control-chars' 
alias ll='ls -l -FN --color=auto --show-control-chars' 
eval `dircolors -b /etc/DIR_COLORS`
##LS_OPTIONS=' --color=always -F -b -T 0'

Most interesting is this line:
eval `dircolors -b /etc/DIR_COLORS`

where the file DIR_COLORS is a default one from the Mandrake
dist (Cygwin version attached;)
