Ryan,

As I alluded to in the p.s: pass uses the tree for the "pass ls" command

>From tree's man page  (found: http://linux.die.net/man/1/tree)

You can use the "-n" flag to disable color. By dong something like:

alias tree="tree -n"

However, as of version 1.6 of pass, pass specifies the "-C" flag which
overrides the -n flag

Because of this you are going to have to manually patch pass. Find the line
that has tree and remove the flag. Something like this:
