Can anybody help me how to change the color to default? It makes my drive not visible in the explorer in Ubuntu.

The green background color indicates, that the directory is writeable by others. You can see it by doing:

mkdir myDir
mkdir openDir
chmod 777 openDir
ls -l

You will see, that openDir has a green background, while myDir is the "normal" color for directories.

For more info, see What do the different colors mean in ls?

It might be color for owner. you can check it by dircolors | grep ow, look for ow marked in red. you can set a different color by adding a line to .bashrc. For example, to make all directories with blue text+underline and no background I added this line: LS_COLORS=$LS_COLORS:'di=4;94:ow=4;94' ; export LS_COLORS
