Emacs calls these fonts and color attributes "faces". You can see
what your current default faces are with M-x list-display-colors. To
change faces, use your menu.
F10 > o > 0 > f RTRN
....which will give your all your faces to change. Make sure you save
your change: F10 > o > o
This will put an entry in your ~/.emacs file. If you don't have that
file, create it. Check the entry. Should look something like this:
(minibuffer-prompt ((t (:foreground "cyan3")))))
In this case, my change is for the minibuffer. You can change a lot
of faces with these .emacs entries.
