Description

how do I change the colour for folders?

I have the ~/.config/lsd/config.yaml setup and switched to unicode for the icons, this works nicely.

I made a ~/.config/lsd/colors.yaml and edit the config.yaml to use "custom"

But in the colors.yaml I don't see an entry for directory names.

Where and what do I need to edit colors.yaml to change the dark blue directory names, they almost impossible to read.

my default "ls" displays them as a purple/blue which is very easy to read but lsd is displaying them very dark blue.

Any help for a poor noob would be greatly appreciated.

Research direction

Start with the ~/.config/lsd/config.yaml and ~/.config/lsd/colors.yaml paths named in the report, then inspect the lsd documentation or configuration handling for directory color settings. Document which colors.yaml entry controls directory names and show how to make the result readable; confirm the guidance against the reported dark-blue output.
