I run Sarge.

Where is the colors for xterm or virtual terminal defined.
Say if I want directories listed with green color instead
of blue, and the other filetypes in different colors than
the current color?

The program dircolors outputs code to set the LS_COLORS environment
variable (which ls uses to display colors).

In Debian Sarge, dircolors is invoked from within ~/.bashrc

Do a "man dircolors." You'll probably want to use the --print-database
option to save the built-in list of colors to a file, then you'll make
your changes in that file and change ~/.bashrc to invoke dircolors with
the name of your changed colors file.
