Seriously, I believe BSD has options for it--yup, in FreeBSD it's ls -G. It can be handy if you're in a hurry, I just don't like the default colors, at least in RH based systems.
I *think* (I don't know about Solaris) that it's actually an option and some flavors of Linux put in the skel files. Yup, I see that it's an alias put in by default. If you type alias you'll see it. So unset it in the .bash_profile or .bashrc. (Assuming you haven't changed the default shell.)
