echo {`ls`}
I don't get any color I just get the filenames in curly braces. I think you may be missing files at the beginning and end of the list because if you do:mkdir testdir; cd testdir
touch file{1,2,3,4}
ls {`ls`}
then the result isls: cannot access {file1: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access file4}: No such file or directory
file2 file3
so I think you are missing files with with curly braces and should leave them off.
