I'm using KDE 3.0 and it took the colors I use for the desktop--gray 
background and white letters, which I use because I can go for long periods 
of time before my eyes water. It doesn't in Gnome, just black letters on 
white, which, for me, is like staring into a light after awhile.

If you load up Emacs at the command line you can set the colors like this:

emacs -fg green -bg black

-fg is foreground, -bg is background. -ms is the mouse color, if you want to 
change that.

It's all in the man pages.

Hope this helps.
