On my workstation, emacs comes up with certain ideas of how to color
things.
On another machine where I have an account, it makes various "bad"
decisions. Some of these I can fix:
 (set-mouse-color "blue")
 (set-cursor-color "purple")
 ; (set-background-color "white")
 ; (set-foreground-color "white")
But there are other colors, apparently, and I don't know what to call
them. For example, syntax highlighting assumes a dark background and
so setting background to white makes a lot of text invisible.
I have no ~/.Xresources. I tried creating an empty one to no effect.
/etc/X11/Xresources has this to say:
 emacs*Background: DarkSlateGray
 emacs*Foreground: Wheat
 emacs*pointerColor: Orchid
 emacs*cursorColor: Orchid
 emacs*bitmapIcon: on
 emacs*font: fixed
 emacs.geometry: 80x25
which all seems innocuous. I found some links via google about color
themes, but that way lies dragons, I think.
Any thoughts what must be done to fix this?

Here's a set I've used.
Which file is used depends on your setup and implementation. Either 
~/.Xresources or ~/.Xdefaults should be read by your X11 setup. The 
keywords are in the emacs man page. As Walt mentioned, the color names 
can be found in the /lib/X11/rgb.txt file.
