Does this alias (ls --color=tty) generate color control sequences?

Other than for default types, you need to generate an LS_COLORS string
with all of the file types and associated colors.

Create a file for the user or eg /etc/DIR_COLORS for all users,
and put in entries for file type and associated color, eg

..asf 1;32;44
..avi 1;32;44
..div 1;32;44
..mkv 1;32;44
..mov 1;32;44
..mp4 1;32;44
..mpg 1;32;44
..wmv 1;32;44

Then you need to run the dircolors program on the file within a
sourced script eg for bash in .bashrc with an entry

eval "`dircolors --sh /etc/DIR_COLORS`"

Then when you use ls --color=tty you will see the specified
color for that file type.
