When I start emacs on a virtual console it provides me with a somehow
light gray background though according to my settings a black background
is expected.
In ~/.zshrc I have these lines:
if [ -n $DISPLAY ];
then export TERM="xterm-256color"
else export TERM="linux"
fi
The ~/.emacs setup for console colors is:
(if window-system nil
(set-background-color "color-25")
(set-foreground-color "yellow")
(custom-set-faces
'(default ((t (:foreground "yellow"))))
'(highline-face ((t (:background "black"))))
'(font-lock-keyword-face ((t (:foreground "cyan"))))
'(mode-line ((t (:background "black" :foreground "red"))))
(blink-cursor-mode nil)))
As far as I understand this it has something to with ncurses colors on a
console but it did not help me much anyway.

I have encounter this problem before when i used terminal to open
emacs,
the color setting is actually your terminal color setting, nothing to
do with dotemacs file.
