Change bash colors

Blue(34) as directory color is difficult to read and strain your eyes.
So, i googled and find using environment variable LS_COLORS one can modify it.

Here is one such google search result:

----------
These three lines in my .bashrc file allow me to configure the color system
by extension.

alias ls="ls --color=auto"
LS_COLORS="di=31;1:ln=36;1:ex=31;1:*~=31;1:*.html=31;1:*.shtml=37;1"
export LS_COLORS
And the output of this command:
dircolors --print-database | less
tells me about colors and codes etc that I can use..
--------

To change only directory color do this:
$ export LS_COLORS="di=31;1:

31 is for red
32 is for green
33 is for yellow
34 is for default blue

Bash directory color
