Is there a mapping of ANSI colors to their syntax in a given shell?

For example, in BASH, Blue seems to be Folders and Green seems to be executable files.

Does a list exist for what ANSI colors mean in BASH, SSH, VI, etc.?

Most of it is customizable, too. Vim has a whole plethora of colorschemes on-line, if you're willing to look. – new123456 Jul 24 '11 at 15:22

No, there is no universal mapping. /etc/DIR_COLORS or ~/.dir_colors gives the colors that ls uses; for everything else, consult the relevant documentation.
