You can temporarily turn off the coloration with ll --color=none but need to change the color palette of the terminal for a permanent fix. This is initially set in the code but can be modified by changing the setting io.elementary.terminal.settings.palette However, it is not obvious how to change it for the better manually. I agree that the color contrast for this combination is not great. I assume it is the ls command that chooses which pair of colors to choose (blue on green) so it is never going to be very readable for color-blind people.

You can improve things by lightening the 3rd item in the palette (green) (e.g. :#99BB22) and darkening the 5th item (navy) (e.g. #2626d2). Need design team to specify acceptable default colors for elementary.
