Hi,
I have the following line in my .emacs:
(set-background-color "ivory2")
(set-foreground-color "black")
initially , the color of emacs is correct. But when I spawn a new
emacs window (C-x 5 2). the background of that emacs is white. Can you
please tell me how can I fix that?
Thank yoy.

(setq default-frame-alist
(append default-frame-alist
'((background-color . "ivory2")
(foreground-color . "black"))))

Kevin gave you the answer to fix it. Note that C-h f
set-background-color RET would have told you why only the
selected frame had the right color:
set-background-color is an interactive compiled Lisp function in
`frame.el'.
(set-background-color COLOR-NAME)
Set the background color of the selected frame to COLOR-NAME.
When called interactively, prompt for the name of the color to use.
To get the frame's current background color, use `frame-parameters'.
Regards
Xavier
