Have you tried color-theme.el?  (I haven't, but it has some enthusiastic
users.)  Get it at http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ColorTheme

Colour customization in LaTeX mode

[vanad]

Has there been any progress on allowing colour preferences
in 21.2.1 ? I acquired 21.2.1 as part of RH9. I've been using
20.7.1 under RH7.2 and had colours in LaTeX mode selected 
so as to give light foreground colours on a dark background. 
I have weak eyes, need a full screen window, and find the 
white background too dazzling. I'm not particularly worried 
which colours go with math, display, environments, etc,
except that grey for comments seems sensible. Below is the
personal part of my ~/.emacs file. I also have a lot in
~/.Xdefaults.

All comments will be greatly appreciated!
