Try "dircolors --print-database | more" to see default values of
$LS_COLORS, and their syntax. 'co' is an abbreviation for 'COLOR=none',
which worked for me. Recent versions of dircolor under Ubuntu 9.04
(dircolors 6.10) and RHEL 5.2 (dircolors 5.97) do not honor this; there
is the comment

# The keywords COLOR, OPTIONS, and EIGHTBIT (honored by the
# slackware version of dircolors) are recognized but ignored.

So you might check the following setting:

$ ls -al
$ export 
LS_COLORS='no=00:fi=00:di=00:ln=00:pi=00:so=00:do=00:bd=00:cd=00:or=00:su=00:sg=00:tw=00:ow=00:st=00:ex=00:*=00'
$ ls -al
