To a point.  You can control the colors via the "dircolors" command and
use "ls --color=[auto|always|never]" to control when colors are
displayed.

As to the font, there is a "putty" term type in the system that should
handle most of your stuff.  If you really need to change it, you can run
the "setfont" command.  There's a bunch of fonts in the
/lib/kbd/consolefonts directory.  Be careful with those.  You may end
up with something TOTALLY unreadable.
