I think the color comes from the value of
`completion-ignored-extensions'. So you can try the following before
you create your dired buffer:

(setq completion-ignored-extensions
      (remove  ".pdf" (push ".ps" completion-ignored-extensions)))

See the following variables for automatic cleaning (needs the library
`dired-aux'): `dired-tex-unclean-extensions',
`dired-texinfo-unclean-extensions', `dired-latex-unclean-extensions',
`dired-bibtex-unclean-extensions'.
