i assume you logged out and then back in...
you should be able to do a:
eval `dircolors -b`
from the command line and then see th red for archives...
make sure a line like:
.tar 01;31 # archives or compressed (bright red)
.tgz 01;31
exist in your /etc/DIR_COLORS file...
i can you you mine if you'd like.
