  Naa, don't worry; this has nothing to do with your original question 
(though it won't harm you to see /usr/blah/ being a made-up name leading 
to an error message)
  I am not sure why this line ended up in your thread.

The colors in your gnome terminal probably indicate different file types: 
executible vs. regular file, maybe links, devices...
I don't know the details as I am on KDE shell.
It's OK to ask how which file types are mapped to which color, but it's 
also OK to just accept it as a visual enhencement and to move on: 
multi-chrome or mono-chrome, the shell syntaxt will be the same.
