Does not seem to work. I put as the last statement into my .emacs:
    (when (= (user-uid) 0)
      (set-foreground-color "#a9eadf"))

The messages while starting are in the asked color, but after being
started the text is not.

So I changed it to:
    (when (= (user-uid) 0)
      (run-with-timer 2 nil
                      '(lambda () (set-foreground-color "#a9eadf"))))

Now the messages are not, but the text (very soon) after being started
is.

And now I put it on a more sensible place. ;-}
