This has nothing to do with zsh.

Colouring output of ls is the job of ls. It's largely dependent on which
implementation of ls your system is using. If you're on Linux, chances
are that you're using GNU's ls implementation. We're just setting up an
alias and load GNU's default colouration scheme. To create your own, see:

  % man dircolors

and add the appropriate call to ~/.zshrc.local.
