Experiment with initial-frame-alist and default-frame-alist – or just  
use a terminal from 20 or 30 years ago!

Put this in your .emacs:

(when window-system
  (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(background-color . "black"))
  (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(foreground-color . "wheat")))


regards,

Start emacs with the --reverse-video command line option.  Or use
the --foreground-color=COLOR and --background-color=COLOR options.
