will do the trick

| Try M-x "customize-themes"

i tried playing with that

a) a couple of themes i tried looked pretty pale to me

b) the customization only took effect in emacs running in its own
window ...  in  emacs -nw  started in an xterm, the colours are
different (for the same latex file), the customizations have no effect,
and the keyword colour mapping (for latex keywords) is coming from some
other place, which i'd like to be able to edit if possible

it says

GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.14.13)

thanks once more
