I've put setting LS_COLORS under a condition in my .bashrc :

if [ "$EMACS" != "t" ]
then
    PS1="$PS1_long"
    if [ "$OSVAR" = "Linux" ]; then
        LS_COLORS='...[set it to your liking] ...'
        export LS_COLORS
    else # Darwin:

        export LSCOLORS="DxfxcxdxbxegedabagDxDx"
    fi 
else 
    export PS1='\t \W \!% ' 
fi
