The default output of ls is uncolored, but some distros include an alias in your .bashrc for 'ls' to 'ls --color=auto', so you definitely don't need a whole other utility just for colored output
Eza is a lot more than just ls with colours though.
Wow, pretty cool the tree and total size options, kind of substitutes other commands I commonly use.
Only thing is though I find it slower than du and tree.
You can also try something like broot. Lovely TUI file manager that shows how big folders are when you start it with the -w option, faster than either du or tree in my experience.
