Are you sure there's no .emacs file for root? Check the value of
user-init-file (use 'C-h v'). If that really doesn't correspond to
any file, then try running 'emacs -q' as your normal user. That'll
tell Emacs not to load your init file, so you can see if maybe there's
something in *your* init file that's causing the colors to be
different.
