Another solution to the problem of coloring `ls` output is to use the `dircolors` command, which configures the colors `ls` uses in it's output. Piggybacking on `ls` has other benefits: if you change `ls` colors, it'll get picked up by other programs, for example zsh auto-complete and the `tree` command, among others. For those interested, there are pre-existing dircolors config files that people have shared, like dircolors-solarized[1]. Of course, the OP's program does more than just ls, in that it has icons and a `--report` flag. [1]: https://github.com/seebi/dircolors-solarized https://github.com/seebi/dircolors-solarized
