The configuration is in the man page for DIR_COLORS.  You can
retrieve the current color settings by running dircolors at
the shell.  Copy that into a file in your home directory

$ dircolors >.dircolors

Then use the man page for DIR_COLORS to decide how you want
to change the settings.  The changes might not take effect
until you open a new shell.
