All aliases in ~/.bashrc are listed in emacs shells.
I already had have ansi-color-for-comint-mode-on set.
execution of ls traces to /bin/ls
Maybe i was not clear in the beginning, the emacs shell can show colors, but not to my customization, for example, I customized it to show executables in purple, it still show them in red. While a regular terminal shows the desirable purple color for executables (as in below, left is regular terminal, right is emacs shell).

IMO it's not recommended to use the same symbol, "ls", left and right of the equals sign. I recommend to use the full pathname of the ls programme when this programme is meant.

Are all aliases from ~/.bashrc listed inside GNU Emacs?
Can you trace the execution of the ls alias?
Have you tried to use the more ANSI compliant "term" function/emulation?
It can be that you need to set up the *shell* buffer to actually show colours (*term* has it activated by default, by its more complete compliance to ANSI):
(add-hook 'shell-mode-hook (lambda ()
(ansi-color-for-comint-mode-on)))
Check your GNU Emacs documentation on this topic!
