Colors do not carry over from local session to remote session

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Set BoldBlue=30,144,255 to .minttyrc
2. ls - this should show the color mentioned on 1. for directories
3. Login remotely to another server, ls output will show a different color.

What is the expected output? i should see the color set in .minttyrc
What do you see instead? i see the color set on the remote ssh session.

What versions of mintty, Cygwin/MSYS, and Windows are you using?
mintty - 0.9.4 
Cygwin - CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 1.7.7(0.230/5/3) 2010-08-31 09:58
Windows - Windows 7 64-bit

Please provide any additional information below.

Looks like Cygwin ls uses bold blue (ANSI colour 12) whereas the ls on your 
remote system uses normal blue (ANSI colour 4). So try changing Blue in your 
.minttyrc as well or set the LS_COLORS on the remote system to use bold blue 
for directories.
