Try my example:
Nothing gets me: 
 White background, Black text

Only (setq default-frame-alist '((background-color . "#333333") 
(foreground-color . "White") (cursor-color . "White"))) gets
 White background, White text

Both:
  Green background, White text

I find it asymmetric that with only default-frame-alist changes foreground, but 
not background nor cursor
