just create .emacs file and put something like this
(set-background-color "DarkSlateGray")
(set-foreground-color "Wheat")
(set-face-background 'modeline "lightgoldenrod2")
(set-face-foreground 'modeline "DarkSlateGray")
(set-cursor-color "Orchid")
(set-face-foreground 'font-lock-comment-face "Gray")
(set-face-foreground 'font-lock-string-face "Gold3")
(set-face-foreground 'font-lock-function-name-face "LightBlue")
(set-face-foreground 'font-lock-keyword-face "cyan1")
(set-face-foreground 'font-lock-type-face "Violet")
(set-face-foreground 'font-lock-builtin-face "Cyan")
(set-face-foreground 'font-lock-variable-name-face "Gold")
(set-face-foreground 'font-lock-constant-face "Magenta")
(set-face-foreground 'scroll-bar "Wheat")
(set-face-background 'scroll-bar "lightgoldenrod2")
(set-face-foreground 'tool-bar "Wheat")
(set-face-background 'tool-bar "lightgoldenrod2")
(set-face-foreground 'font-lock-builtin-face "Cyan")
the list of predefined colors is shown typing M-x list-colors-display
and you can also check and change the colors of things by
M-x customize-face
