I just had a similar problem, and solved it with some help from this
newsgroup:

I use the same setup like you - one daemon an lots of instances on plain
terminals and X, and use the following code to have different colors on
X:

,-------------------------------------------------------------------
| (defun tj-set-window-type-dependend-emacsclient-colors ()
|     "Sets emacsclient colors for X.
| Background-color is set to black and foreground-color to wheat for
| emacsclient on X"
|     (if (display-graphic-p)
|         (progn
|           (set-background-color "black")
|           (set-foreground-color "wheat"))))
| 
| (add-hook 'server-visit-hook
|           'tj-set-window-type-dependend-emacsclient-colors)
`-------------------------------------------------------------------

Instead of setting background-colors you might be able to change the
color-theme? 

This only works, when visiting a file when calling emacsclient, i.e.

,---------------------------------------
| exec emacsclient -c "/path/to/file.el"
`---------------------------------------

When using only the -c flag without a file argument, the *scratch*
buffer is visited, but the server-visit-hook is not called apparently.
