How to inhibit Konsole text colors

[joneall]

I have settings > current profile > appearnce set to black on light yellow, but text comes out in all sorts of unreadably light colors. How do I tell i to use black all the time.

This seems to have something to do with dircolors, but I do not see what.

if you do not want dircolors in your terminal ..........go to your .bashrc and find the lines

# enable color support of ls and also add handy aliases
if [ -x /usr/bin/dircolors ]; then
test -r ~/.dircolors && eval "$(dircolors -b ~/.dircolors)" || eval "$(dircolors -b)"
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
#alias dir='dir --color=auto'
#alias vdir='vdir --color=auto'

alias grep='grep --color=auto'
alias fgrep='fgrep --color=auto'
alias egrep='egrep --color=auto'
fi

and coment out those alias's that you do not want to use dircolors with.

or if you do not want to permanently disable the dircolors then use ls like this "ls --colors=no"
