Changing terminal colors for Webfaction SSH sessions

I was trying to figure out how to change the color of directory names in Terminal.app when I SSH into my Webfaction server. Fortunately it was as simple as copying /etc/DIR_COLORS to ~/.dir_colors, then changing DIR 01;34 to DIR 01;37 in that file. I think the white color is much more readable in Mac OS X terminal compared to the blue.
