  • Your Windows build number: (Type ver at a Windows Command Prompt)
    Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.15063]

  • What you're doing and what's happening: (Copy & paste specific commands and their output, or include screen shots)
    capture1
    capture2
    capture3

  • What's wrong / what should be happening instead:
    After setting the scheme, the text in the command line still has only one color, is there sth wrong?

What ls are you using? There isn't one inbox in CMD, and I don't think the Powershell one uses colors....

What dose "what ls" mean? I simply type -ls in windows' CMD.
I think file names will be displayed in different colors, just like the first image.

CMD doesn't come with ls by default - something else must have installed it into your path. Could have been cygwin, mingw, gow, git, but it's not there by default.

Can you try where ls?

It is C:\cygwin\bin\ls.exe.
When opening a file in CMD, I find that characters are already in different colors....
Is it the fact that the ls command does not show the folder names in colors?

I don't have cygwin on my PC, but if their ls is like every other ls, you should be able to get colors with ls --color.

I don't really know all that much about cygwin in general - you'd have to follow up with them on why they aren't emitting colors.
