This is not exactly a solution to your problem but since I see you want 
a colour scheme more to the likes of emacs invoked with 
`-no-window-system', I would suggest you try setting `inverse-video' to 
t. An even better solution would be to use the `color-themes' library 
and choose a dark theme. I use one myself. If you are interested I can 
share my setup.
