There are Elisp specific solutions for the problem.
Putting something like this in the .emacs file
(setq default-frame-alist '((cursor-color . "gold")
(background-color . "black")
(foreground-color . "#feffD9")
(height . 40)
(width . 80)
))
sets the default cursor color, background color, foreground color,
height and width of any other frame you create.
for the current frame
(set-background-color "gold")
(set-cursor-color "black")
(set-foreground-color "#feffD9")
do the job for colors :)
