Setting colors for ls in git bash on windows

Question

I have installed GitHub for Windows recently and am using the git bash prompt - the one thing that is bugging me right now is when I type LS all directories are listed in blue.<

Answer 1

I was able to modify DIR_COLORS under /c/Program\ Files/Git/etc just by adding ;47 to line 49:

was

DIR 01;34

and now is

DIR 01;34;47

So now the directories are listed with a white background and much easier to read.
