Emacs is supposed to detect the dark background and then pick colors
for text from a brighter pallet.
Customize frame-background-mode to dark
and see if that helps.
Personally, I always use a black background.
I like chartreuse as my default foreground color and I
set a load of colors in my .emacs.
