Question How to get directories colored when doing change directory and tab

I am trying to navigate between directories using cd.
However, the only way to distinguish directories now is by seeing the "/' after the directory names, which is quite inefficient. How can I make the directories look in color when typing cd and then using the tab key to list the files and directories in that folder?
I seee colored directories in the output from ls, but not when using tab with cd command.
Any help would be appreciated.

NAME
inspect - Boost code inspection tool SYNOPSIS
inspect [-cvs] [-text] [-brief] [options...] DESCRIPTION
It is not uncommon for various common errors or guideline violations to creep into the Boost libraries. The inspect program detects and reports several common problems. It can be used to scan a proposed Boost submission to identify various failures. The program is run in the directory to be scanned for errors. Sub-directories are also included in the scan. If the first program argument is -cvs, only files and directories in the CVS tree of the current directory are scanned. Otherwise all files and sub-directories are included in the scan. Options: -license -copyright -crlf -link -path_name -tab -ascii -minmax -unnamed The default is to have all checks on; otherwise options specify desired checks. SEE ALSO
The full documentation for inspect is maintained in HTML; see /usr/share/doc/libboostX.Y-doc/HTML/tools/inspect/index.html inspect July 2009 INSPECT(1)
