This happens because you used incorrect customizations:

These apply only to the initial frame. When you create other frames
with `C-x 5 2', their colors and faces use the default values. See
the documentation of these two functions (accessible with `C-h f').
Instead, use something like this:
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(foreground-color . "DarkGoldenrod1"))
and similarly for the background color.
This is explained in the Emacs user manual, in the node named
"Creating Frames". I suggest to take a few minutes and read that.
