Thats ls doing the colouring, and the file it drags the colors from
is /etc/DIR_COLORS you can also copy it to ~/.dir_colors. The attribute
code for bold is the 01 sequence in each entry in this file. I suspect
that for example convert
DIR 01;34   # directory
to
DIR 00;34   # directory
and repeat for all others that that will sort out your bold issue and
you can read the file for the colors available etc etc

Though Im sure you're going to get buried in mail on this one.
