If you are launching an X emacs, then you can set colors in ~/.Xresources

Here is for example what I have there:

emacs.geometry: 81x71-68+0
emacs.dialog*.background: LightBlue1
emacs*pane.background: LightBlue1
emacs*menu*background: LightBlue1
emacs*menubar*background: LightBlue1
emacs*verticalScrollBar.background: LightBlue1
emacs*verticalScrollBar.throughColor: LightBlue3
emacs*background: LightBlue1
emacs*foreground: DarkSlateBlue
emacs*pointerColor: Black
emacs*cursorColor: Red
emacs*bitmapIcon: off


(Yes, blue is my favorite color).



Once emacs is launched, and whatever the system, there are a lot of
customizable parameters you can set to configure the colors.
Basically, you may start with:

(set-background-color "white")
(set-foreground-color "black")
