Is there a guide to changing emacs colorscheme?
emacs
Solution
I'm not sure of tutorial, but off top of my head, what you probably will want to do is: `M-x customize` then navigate to the section called "Faces" - you'll get a bunch of settings related to the color scheme and other font-related settings.
But Emacs has tons of customizations related to how text is displayed. I'm using this http://www.nongnu.org/color-theme/ but you can find a lot of info here: http://emacswiki.org/emacs/ColorTheme (emacswiki is basically the resource to be consulted first when you have any Emacs-related problem).
Obviously, you can do that in your .emacs file by adding different settings, but I'd suggest to use what's generated by the changed settings first, see how it works and then add on top of that yourself (once you modify settings from the customization buffer, it will save the changes into .emacs file - you can then open it and see what exactly did it do).
Problem
In the terminal when I try to use emacs the colors are not good, most of the times I can't properly see the text. In vim I know I can change the colorscheme with `:colo <colorscheme_name>` Is there something similar in emacs? A tutorial on the proper steps to change the colors would be appreciated.
