I want to make my own theme. rainbow-mode is super handy when making color themes: http://julien.danjou.info/rainbow-mode.html When you're testing your color theme some properties, such as background-color, will not change, try the theme in a new session. Read and copy some other themes, I copied mine from a theme I liked called chocolate rain. https://github.com/marktran/color-theme-chocolate-rain I put mine up today, color-theme-cool-dark https://github.com/yhvh/color-theme-cool-dark and a still very new, light theme for gnome-3 https://github.com/yhvh/color-theme-gnome-3-adwaita > ... But how to find all color > that I should define? What is the right way for creating theme for emacs? To find out what a particuar face is called just put your cursor over the face and do M-x describe-face
