Colours in directory display

Hello
Environment: cygwin 1.1.2 on NT 4.0
When I make a directory listing using colours (ls --color -F), I get
the expected display; the different entry types are in the colours as
defined. Now I pipe the output to less and the colours disappear.
Instead the corresponding escape sequence is written to the screen as
pointed out in the following example:
Output of 'ls --color -F':
Temp/
Output of 'ls --color -F | less':
ESC[01;36mTempESC[0m/
Is this the expected behaviour?
Thanks for any hint.
Severin Mathis
