When I run colorls -h shows the help (same if I run colorls --help) instead the flag --human-readable

I think this behavior seems to be a specification. If the argument is only -h, colorls shows the help. https://github.com/athityakumar/colorls/blob/24e402c153274dc5b9cde89ad6235ac5a4746129/lib/colorls/flags.rb#L314-L315

Yes, this works as designed. ls -h showing the help was done for backward-compatibility. The -h/--human-readable flag was added later for GNU ls compatibility and has no effect for colorls (file sizes are always shown human readable) -- this is stated in the help text.
