   What was throwing me off was an environment variable of:

   I figured that had to be the cause of all the evil, but when I
   set it to null I still had the nasty colors.

Sorry that I am late in the game, but what you want to do is unset the
environment variable, not set it to null:

csh/tcsh: unsetenv LS_COLORS
bash:     unset LS_COLORS

This should remove the need for --color=never
