Emacs 21 on a console might think it is running with a dark
background. I use this:
(defun kai-dark-background (dummy)
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(background-mode . dark))
(setq-default frame-background-mode 'dark)
(mapcar 'frame-set-background-mode (frame-list)))
(add-to-list 'command-switch-alist '("-dark" . kai-dark-background))
This allows me to tell Emacs it is running on a dark background.
Something similar could be used for telling Emacs it's running on a
light background.
