Eza Color Explanation

eza provides its own built-in set of file extension mappings that cover a large range of common file extensions, including documents, archives, media, and temporary files. Any mappings in the environment variables will override this default set: running eza with LS_COLORS="*.zip=32" will turn zip files green but leave the colours of other compressed files alone.

You can also disable this built-in set entirely by including a reset entry at the beginning of EZA_COLORS. So setting EZA_COLORS="reset:*.txt=31" will highlight only text files; setting EZA_COLORS="reset" will highlight nothing.

Examples

  • Disable the "current user" highlighting: EZA_COLORS="uu=0:gu=0"
  • Turn the date column green: EZA_COLORS="da=32"
  • Highlight Vagrantfiles: EZA_COLORS="Vagrantfile=1;4;33"
  • Override the existing zip colour: EZA_COLORS="*.zip=38;5;125"
  • Markdown files a shade of green, log files a shade of grey: EZA_COLORS="*.md=38;5;121:*.log=38;5;248"

BUILT-IN EXTENSIONS

  • eza now supports bright colours! As supported by most modern 256-colour terminals, you can now choose from bright colour codes when selecting your custom colours in your #EZA_COLORS environment variable.

  • Build (Makefile, Cargo.toml, package.json) are yellow and underlined.

  • Images (png, jpeg, gif) are purple.

  • Videos (mp4, ogv, m2ts) are a slightly purpler purple.

  • Music (mp3, m4a, ogg) is a deeper purple.

  • Lossless music (flac, alac, wav) is deeper than that purple. In general, most media files are some shade of purple.

  • Cryptographic files (asc, enc, p12) are a faint blue.

  • Documents (pdf, doc, dvi) are a less faint blue.

  • Compressed files (zip, tgz, Z) are red.

  • Temporary files (tmp, swp, ~) are grey.

  • Compiled files (class, o, pyc) are yellow. A file is also counted as compiled if it uses a common extension and is in the same directory as one of its source files: styles.css will count as compiled when next to styles.less or styles.sass, and scripts.js when next to scripts.ts or scripts.coffee.

  • Source files (cpp, js, java) are bright yellow.
