Originally created by @mr-null-byter on GitHub (Oct 29, 2019).

Environment

Windows build number: Windows 10, Version 1903, Build 18362.418
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.6.2951.0

Steps to reproduce

I'm not sure if this is exactly reproducible, simply because it happens erratically on my machine. There is no consistency behind this bug. But, there is inconsistency between $LS_COLORS and what the terminal shows.

Capture

Expected behavior

The ls command respects the colors set forth by the $LS_COLORS flag.

Actual behavior

There is wide inconsistency between what $LS_COLORS sets and what color is displayed via ls. Pay attention to the fact that both .png files have different colors, and .tif does not respond to the coloring set forth by $LS_COLORS.

@DHowett-MSFT commented on GitHub (Oct 29, 2019):

Those files are probably being colored differently because they're +x. Your LS_COLORS coloring for executable files (ex) is ex=01;32 (bright green). ex always wins out over base coloring for normal files.

Incidentally, this is not a Windows Terminal, Console or WSL issue. 😄
