With luck, the color you don't like is just one face, and that face is
being used by many modes.  If you customize the face, then all modes
that use it will show the new coloring.  There's a command to show you
the attributes of the character under the cursor, so you'd know which
face to customize, but I can't remember/find what that is right now.

At worst, you can do
M-x customize-face RET RET

Which will bring up a customization buffer for all faces, and you can
visually scan for the one that looks like the offending one.
