emacs equivalent of vim's bg=dark? (setting background to dark)

Question

In vim, I can run `set bg=dark` and then vim will adjust all syntax highlighting to work on a terminal with a dark background (whether or not the background actually is dark, vim will assume that it is). How do I tell emacs to assume that the background is either dark or light?

Accepted Answer

I think the best approach to use is to use ColorTheme. Other options to customize the frame colors you can find here. I can't think about a single command, however you can start emacs with `--reverse-video`.
