I believe you would need to put

    (my-color-customizations-for-nw (selected-frame))

or something along those lines in your .emacs file to get the first
frame created to display using those customizations.  Not sure about
the (selected-frame) portion though.  Best I could come up with on a
cursory look through the ELisp reference manual.
