text colors

[notbob]

I've moved to another linux box w/ diff mobo.  Although I've set up almost
identically, emacs is diff due to diff vid chipset.  The mini-buffer is now
such a dark blue, I can't even see it (geezer eyes).  How do I change
default colors?  

(damn, I gotta buy some new hardware!  ;)

You could use a "colour theme" or invoke describe-face. The *Help*  
buffer will have a hyperlink to the customisation interface in which  
you can change the colour (and more face attributes).

I found M-x list-faces-display and used that to edit.  Thanks for the tip.

Naw.... it's got three modes: sucks, sucks more, and eat-doody-and-die.
