That's the way it is.

colorls changes its output depending if the standard output is directed
to a terminal or not (i.e. piped or >file). If not, it doesn't use ansi
colour codes wich may confuse other commands (such as grep or more).

BTW: More can't handle ansi (you would see a lot of ESCCnn on the screen
instead of colours) so this not a big loss IMHO.
