Linux ubuntu terminal is one color, no syntax highlight

Question

So I have a trouble figuring out how to change everything back to normal in my terminal's text

Everything is gray, it supposed to show colors like its a directory or a file. Or show colors in color. But all of my terminal is this single color

I tried methods from internet like changing the configuring file(.profile) but it didn't work

Note: if I change to another user, the syntax goes back to normal with su - USERNAME

Can you create a new user account and test whether it affects them? — Artem S. Tashkinov

Right click in the terminal window, select Preferences, and then the tab Colours and then try various settings ... — sudodus

Here is where you can control your color settings. I have "show bold text in bright colors" box checked.

Click on "Text color" it will open a color palette.
