I once had the same problem. Check if you have a file

~/Library/Preferences/org.gnu.Emacs.plist

That file contained some of the settings from my .emacs, including the
background color, so that deleting if from .emacs didn't have the
desired effect. I'm not sure when and why that file was written. It is
mentioned here

http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Mac-Environment-Variables.html

as a means to save Xresources.

Regards,
David
