If you run "ls" in your terminal it shows colors.  If you run "bash -c
ls" you don't see color.  The later command never allocates a PTY.
Does this have something to do with it?

Adjusting TERM or COLORTERM env vars doesn't seem to make a
difference.  Running infocmp in both scenarios above produces
identical output.

I'm curious about the answer to this too.
