Depends on which shell you're using... I prefer tcsh (I know, old-school), and adding the following to my .cshrc file allows me to do a "ls -lapG" and get a nice, colored output:

setenv CLICOLOR 1
setenv LSCOLORS dxfxcxdxbxegedabagacad

going to window setting from the terminal menu gives you the ability to change the color no matter what shell you use. thats what i've done.

True -- but that only gives you one color for all the text. If you want the Terminal to color regular files a certain color, directories another, and executables yet another, it's shell-specific.
