Hi Brandon,

I am just now learning emacs foo, but here is my suggestion:

The key word/idea you need is "face".  The "face" of the text determines
how it is displayed (color, underline, size, style, etc).  What you need to
do is indentify which face(s) are hard for you to see, and then change them
to something that suits you.  Try this:

In Matlab mode, run the command: M-x list-faces-display.  This brings up a
comprehensive list of all defined faces, and shows example text of each.

Find the offending face(s), and then customize the color to suit you (for
instance, change to light blue).  I recommend left-click (mouse-1) on the
face name, which brings up a very nice customization menu.  Change the
property as desired, then make sure to set either for current session or
for future session.

Hope this works!

P.S. You may encounter "inheritance."  If the color is "inherited" then
simply change the color of the parent face (to change them both) or disable
the inheritance and give it it's own original (un-inherited) color.
