colours are applied to file type when a 'ls' command is issued for ease of seeing what files are where.
if you edit/read the file /etc/DIR_COLORS or along those lines it will show you what file (extensions) coenside to what colours, this is where you can add you own custom ones (also you can make types flash - handy for broken symlinks)
