Solution is simple: don't use ls for the for loops you're doing. I just
tested it on my system, the colored files and directories give "No such
file or directory", which makes sense, as the variable contains ascii
chars for color information.

I would suggest using globbing, why would you use for i in $(ls); while
you can use for i in *;
