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.
