Just could never get it to work...
# Color output
export CLICOLOR=1
#export CLICOLOR_FORCE=1
export LSCOLORS=dxfxcxdxbxegedabagacad

If I type ls -la I get coloring, if I use an alias based on the same  
thing, I get no coloring.  Ah ha, I was aliasing ls -la | grep - 
v .DS_Store, which kills the color.

Suggestions on how to mask out those files, and still maintain my  
colors?
