Use "ll" or "ls -l" to display file attributes. They might reveal the answer.

Re: Color codes for files.. what does neon green mean?
I'm guessing they're directories.
Within Konsole you can configure its appearance, including the colors for its output. Right-click anywhere within a Konsole window and select "Configure current profile" from the menu that comes up. Go to its Appearance tab, select your color scheme, and then choose Edit. You'll see the colors and can change them to suit you.
EDIT: I wasn't paying attention. My guess regarding directories was for the dark green entries. The lighter/neon green entries are, I'm guessing, files. As noted above, you can alter the appearance of colors associated with various file types.

10.4 `dircolors': Color setup for `ls'
======================================
`dircolors' outputs a sequence of shell commands to set up the terminal
for color output from `ls' (and `dir', etc.). Typical usage:
eval "`dircolors [OPTION]... [FILE]`"
If FILE is specified, `dircolors' reads it to determine which colors
to use for which file types and extensions. Otherwise, a precompiled
database is used. For details on the format of these files, run
`dircolors --print-database'...
Code:... # enable color support of ls and also add handy aliases if [ -x /usr/bin/dircolors ]; then test -r ~/.dircolors && eval "$(dircolors -b ~/.dircolors)" || eval "$(dircolors -b)" alias ls='ls --color=auto' #alias dir='dir --color=auto' #alias vdir='vdir --color=auto' alias grep='grep --color=auto' alias fgrep='fgrep --color=auto' alias egrep='egrep --color=auto' fi ...
Code:man ls
Code:dircolors --print-database
Code:dircolors -b
Code:echo $LS_COLORS
